Medical Student Teaching is... has been designed to help focus on five key areas that are essential for excellent teaching. We'll think about some of these on the face-to-face Induction for Clinical Teachers day. One way to use this is to pick one aspect and focus on that for your next teaching, then choose another and so on, so that you gradually work through them all.
Medical Student Teaching is...
- Builds on existing learning, supporting learners to engage with new knowledge and skills
- Provides feedback and highlights areas for further development
- Evaluated and informed by feedback
