A practical book for all medical teachers who want to know how to teach effectively. In brief chapters it covers a full range of topics, giving advice in ato-the-point and self-contained style. Significant changes have recently occurred in both healthcare delivery and in the context and methods in which medicine is taught and learned. These changes have brought considerable challenges to all those involved in medical teaching and have made it less possible for established clinicians to teach in the style to which they were previously accustomed. This book is an attempt to help clinicians especially, and other healthcare teachers in general, in their understanding of contemporary educational principles and to provide practical help for them in the delivery of the variety of teaching situations which characterise present day curricula. Aimed mainly at undergraduate medical education the principles described and the examples supplied are just as relevant to teaching in other healthcare professions and to postgraduate medical education. All those involved in teaching in the healthcare disciplines will benefit from this view of current developments in medical education, from practical tips and from the quotes and references which will encourage them as practical medical teachers. CARACTERISTICAS: Covers a topical subject in a concise format Highly practical - text includes 'Tips' throughout Highly referenced with questions to interest the reader and back-up advice given International team of authors, but centred in some of the most respected centres for medical education.
