Publisher's Synopsis
This work describes in straightforward, practical terms how teaching can be more effective in clinic, on the wards, in the operating theatre and in formal teaching sessions. Teaching techniques and methods, and their appropriate use, are examined in detail. Emphasis is given to the teaching of skills and attitudes as well as knowledge, with particular stress on communication skills teaching and assessment. Separate consideration is given to the art of supervision and mentoring, emphasising the duty of care of the teacher.;This is not a book about the theory of education and training, but provides insight into the practical methods and skills needed to be a better trainer. The text complements the courses on effective teaching, and provides an alternative for those who prefer to read to learn.
