What is teaching?
‘Teaching is a messy, indeterminate , inscrutable, often intimidating and highly uncertain task.’
‘Education for Judgment’, Harvard Business School

Clinical teaching is …… teaching & learning focused on, and usually directly involving, patients and their problems.

“Clinical teaching, though an educationally sound approach, is often undermined by problems of implementation”
Spencer

Think of your ‘best clinical teacher’...
What words or phrases would you use to characterize why this person is an excellent teacher?
Write it down
Discuss it with the person next to you, and pick your ‘top attribute’.
![Page 21: Teaching Tips for Busy Cliniciansvirtual3.umin.ac.jp/vod/files/Dr.Linda_Snell/Teaching...Linda Snell MD MHPE FRCPC FACP Centre for Medical Education & Department of Medicine, McGill](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fe53d5faeb748066d1f2d48/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Clinical teachers must possess a wide
range of knowledge, skills and personal
attributes, and know how to apply them.

It’s not just being an expert …
![Page 27: Teaching Tips for Busy Cliniciansvirtual3.umin.ac.jp/vod/files/Dr.Linda_Snell/Teaching...Linda Snell MD MHPE FRCPC FACP Centre for Medical Education & Department of Medicine, McGill](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fe53d5faeb748066d1f2d48/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The difference between a knowledgeable expert and an effective clinical teacher:
a good teacher connects the content (subject) and the context (learner, patient) with pedagogical skills
PCK - “pedagogical content knowledge”the way that subject knowledge for teaching & learning is organized & selected

Create a positive learning environment
Encourage free exchange of information Form a collaborative learning community
residents as (co)teachers
Do not answer everything immediately: comfort with ‘I don’t know’show your own willingness to learn, show how – capitalize on information technology

Instructional strategies for the clinical setting
![Page 33: Teaching Tips for Busy Cliniciansvirtual3.umin.ac.jp/vod/files/Dr.Linda_Snell/Teaching...Linda Snell MD MHPE FRCPC FACP Centre for Medical Education & Department of Medicine, McGill](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fe53d5faeb748066d1f2d48/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Instructional strategies for the clinical setting
1. Teach even when you are not an ‘expert’
2. Make the most of the teaching moment
3. Go to the bedside
4. Utilize the ‘one-minute teacher’ method
5. Use specific methods when time is limited

A teaching moment can be…
A 5-minute discussion at morning reportA brief discussion of an unexpected physical findingA case review / discussion at 02h00Formal bedside teaching rounds…A mini-lecture or formal presentationA month with the clinical ‘team’…
![Page 38: Teaching Tips for Busy Cliniciansvirtual3.umin.ac.jp/vod/files/Dr.Linda_Snell/Teaching...Linda Snell MD MHPE FRCPC FACP Centre for Medical Education & Department of Medicine, McGill](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fe53d5faeb748066d1f2d48/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

"My method ... (is to) lead my students by the hand to the practice of medicine, taking them every day to see patients in the public hospital, that they may hear the patient's symptoms and see their physical findings"
Sylvius, (17th Century Chair of Medicine, Leiden)
![Page 41: Teaching Tips for Busy Cliniciansvirtual3.umin.ac.jp/vod/files/Dr.Linda_Snell/Teaching...Linda Snell MD MHPE FRCPC FACP Centre for Medical Education & Department of Medicine, McGill](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fe53d5faeb748066d1f2d48/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What can be learned at the bedside?
Knowledge, skills & attitudes related directly to the patientSkills: history, exam, proceduresRespect for patient: dignity & comfortProfessionalismClinical honesty and tenacity‘Healing hands’‘Reflection in action’…
![Page 42: Teaching Tips for Busy Cliniciansvirtual3.umin.ac.jp/vod/files/Dr.Linda_Snell/Teaching...Linda Snell MD MHPE FRCPC FACP Centre for Medical Education & Department of Medicine, McGill](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fe53d5faeb748066d1f2d48/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Bedside teaching tips
Plan which patients? what learning goals?
Assess baseline knowledge & skillsDemonstrate & observe at the bedsideDevelop data & generalizeSummarize & synthesizeProvide feedback to learners and patients
‘the time physicians and students spend with patients should be devoted entirely to the patient’

4. Use the ‘one-minute teacher’ method
![Page 44: Teaching Tips for Busy Cliniciansvirtual3.umin.ac.jp/vod/files/Dr.Linda_Snell/Teaching...Linda Snell MD MHPE FRCPC FACP Centre for Medical Education & Department of Medicine, McGill](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fe53d5faeb748066d1f2d48/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The ‘one-minute teacher’ - steps
1. Get a commitment - make a diagnosis2. Assess the reasoning involved3. Focus on a single teaching point4. Identify what the learner did well5. Identify & discuss areas to improve6. Discuss steps to improve, or learning for next time

No time to teach? Strategies, techniques & games
Practice hands-on procedural or physical exam skills prior to doing it on real patient – do only the critical or difficult part.

No time to teach? Strategies, techniques & games
Provide an approach to problem rather than details: an algorithm, decision tree.

No time to teach? Strategies, techniques & games
Observe one part of history, exam, procedure or part of chart notes by learner, and provide focused feedback on it.

Using questions to promote clinical problem solving
What’s the most common teachingstrategy used in clinical teaching…
at the bedside,on the ward discussing a patient, reviewing a patient in the ER?

The “question game”
In pairs, choose a topic (medical or otherwise)Ask each other questions alternately that characterize one level of the taxonomyMove from ‘memory’ to ‘evaluation’ levels
Remember – you don’t have to answer the questions, just ask!As you do this, think how you would use this in your teaching

Clinical Teaching Pearls (1)
Meet individual learner needsCapture attentionActively involve learnersTeach concepts & frameworks - connect cases to theseBe practical & relevant - go to the bedside
![Page 65: Teaching Tips for Busy Cliniciansvirtual3.umin.ac.jp/vod/files/Dr.Linda_Snell/Teaching...Linda Snell MD MHPE FRCPC FACP Centre for Medical Education & Department of Medicine, McGill](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fe53d5faeb748066d1f2d48/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Clinical Teaching Pearls (2)
Use varying proportions of
QuestionsFrameworksWisdomFeedback
Adjust your teaching strategies to the context and learner

Clinical Teaching Pearls (3)
Don’t answer everything immediately Show your own willingness to learnDon’t teach too much: foster reflection & independent learningObserve performance & provide feedback …frequentlyHave fun!

Link between good education & good practice
Good clinical teachers are role models for good clinical practice
BUTCompeting demands for clinical service and education:
For learnerFor teacher
This could be an advantage
![Page 68: Teaching Tips for Busy Cliniciansvirtual3.umin.ac.jp/vod/files/Dr.Linda_Snell/Teaching...Linda Snell MD MHPE FRCPC FACP Centre for Medical Education & Department of Medicine, McGill](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fe53d5faeb748066d1f2d48/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Clinical teaching
Provides role models of good practice
Makes good practice visible
Makes it clear to trainees
Undertake good practice .
Demonstrate good practice
Explain good practice
