The generation currently studying medical specialization programs belongs to the so-called “Millennials”. The characteristics of this generation provoke the need for a change or adjustment in the paradigm of the traditional teaching-learning environment. The objective of this review is to reaffirm some concepts about the main current models of teaching and learning, as well as certain techniques with the potential to benefit the learning of the current generation of medical specialty residents including the use of information and communication technologies. The concepts described include Bloom’s taxonomy, Miller’s pyramid, Dreyfus, skills acquisition, competency-based education model, active education and passive education, and evaluation recommendations. The revised strategies include flipped classroom, resident as teacher, resident as researcher, as well as the incorporation of technologies to it. The teacher-student dyad in medical specialties is characterized by a particular dynamic, in which the specific objective is the generation of new competent and professional doctors. Optimizing the teaching-learning environment according to the characteristics of the current generation is essential to achieve this goal.
