Teaching in residency education and integrated care requires faculty and clinicians to devise efficient strategies for engaging learners (Stalmeijer et al., 2013) as well as patients to enhance evidence-based practice and teaching. Clinical teaching encounters deliver important content “just-in-time” for medical learners to put the knowledge to use (Rourke et al., 2016). One innovative way to improve the impact of these "just-in-time" teaching encounters and share knowledge in a visually appealing manner to patients is through infographics, which can be effective when strategically and meaningfully designed (Yarbrough, 2019). Infographics in medical education have been used to summarize important content, impart procedural knowledge, and facilitate faculty development (Orner et al., 2020). This presentation will focus on teaching participants how infographics can be used in a busy clinic environment, to impart just the right amount of information and to enhance learning during patient visits and precepting.
