A Practical Guide for Medical Teachers Book

Significant changes have recently occurred in both healthcare delivery and in the context and methods in which medicine is taught and learned. At the same time changes in the content and style of delivery of medical education have made it harder for established clinicians to teach in the style to which they were previously accustomed. The Second Edition of this book attempts to bridge the gap between the theoretical aspects of medical education, and its attendant jargon, and the practical delivery of enthusiastic teaching. It will be of great assistance to clinicians especially, and other healthcare teachers in general, in their understanding of contemporary educational principles and will provide practical help for them in the delivery of the variety of teaching situations which characterise present day curricula.Covers a topical subject in a concise formatHighly practical - text includes "Tips" throughoutHighly referenced with questions to interest the reader and back-up advice givenInternational team of authors.Text presentation now enhanced with two-colour page design.new introductory chapter on horizons in medical educationsubstantial revision of the Curriculum section with increased focus on the three main stages of medical education - undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing professional developmentnew chapter on e-learning techniquesrevised section on assessment emphasising current trends in written, performance and work-based methods of assessmentnew chapter on doing research and publicationnew contributing authors from acknowledged centres of excellence in medical education around the worldRead More
