A Practical Guide for Medical Teachers

This Sixth Edition of the highly praised Practical Guide for Medical Teachers provides a bridge between the theoretical aspects of medical education and the delivery of enthusiastic and effective teaching in basic science and clinical medicine. Healthcare professionals are committed teachers and this book, with its short, succinct chapters on current topics, is a practical guide to help them maximise their performance. This highly regarded book recognises the importance of educational skills in the delivery of quality teaching in medicine. The contents offer valuable insights into all important aspects of medical education today. As the scope of medical education continues to expand there is a continual emergence of new topics of interest to teachers in all healthcare disciplines. This is recognised in this Sixth Edition in eight new chapters: The international dimension of the curriculum; How students learn; Clinical reasoning; Roles of a teacher; Burnout, mistreatment and stress; Professional identity as a student; Curriculum and teacher evaluation; and Diversity equality and inclusivity. In addition eight existing chapters will be re-named to reflect a substantial change of emphasis or content. Over one hundred authors from twelve countries provide both an international perspective and a multi-professional approach to topics of interest to all healthcare teachers.
