APMEC 2024 Pre conference Day 01 (17/01/2024)
Special Course 2:
"Essential Skills In Clinical Teaching (ESMECT): Master Class"
Teaching in the clinical environment is defined as teaching and learning focused on, and usually directly involving, patients and their problems.
Clinical teachers have a dual role in healthcare, to provide patient care and to teach. The various settings (ward, ambulatory, urban or community) have their own distinct challenges. In these settings, essential patient care skills such as history taking, physical examination, patient
communication and professionalism are inculcated, bench knowledge applied to the bedside, motivation and self-directed learning take on a
new meaning. In acknowledgment of the complexity of clinical teaching, the educational strategies will employ a non-prescriptive behavioural
approach to enhancing teaching skills. Participants will learn to select effective teaching strategies while taking into account many variables such
as the content, the learners, and the context. Teachers at all levels of experience and expertise can benefit from an organised review of their
teaching.
The course will be delivered as a full-day masterclass for face-to face delegates. The course language is English, but the pace will be suitable for
participants whose first language is not English.
Who should attend?
This course will focus on core topics in clinical teaching and is intended for clinicians who teach pre-registration students (medical / nursing etc)
and post-registration trainees (physician, nursing etc) in ward, outpatient as well as simulation and conference settings. In addition, educators
who organise staff development for clinical teachers will benefit from participation.
