Creative Clinical Teaching in the Health Professions

By Beth Perry, Caroline Park, Sherri Melrose

Clinical education is a foundational component of preparing learners for the health professions. However, clinical teaching presents significant challenges to instructors who must balance safe patient care with supportive opportunities for students. Creative Clinical Teaching in the Health Professions, a volume grounded in pedagogical theory, provides indispensable guidance to educators on how to manage the complex and unpredictable environments that often accompany clinical work. The authors, all three experienced practitioners and teachers, focus on topics of establishing a personal teaching philosophy and the critical aspect of determining how to provide learners with meaningful evaluation. Along the way, experienced clinical teachers share reflections from their work in the field and the authors provide readers with strategies to reflect on and implement the concepts of the book. Creative Clinical Teaching in the Health Professions equips teachers with information that will impact both student success and the quality of care provided by future practitioners. Book jacket.
