“The most important lesson I have learned is the importance of relationships. As a resident, you meet many people: your students, your supervisor, your demonstration teacher, other residents, and university professors. Residents have the support of all these resources and utilizing these resources in your pathway to becoming a teacher is one of the best aspects of the residency.”
