Office-based teaching should be a beneficial and rewarding experience for both teacher and student. However, ambulatory medical education takes place in a fast-paced, often chaotic environment in which there is little time for instruction, observation, and feedback. Consequently, preceptors mistakenly consider the opportunity for their own self-improvement to be limited.
Teaching in Your Office is a comprehensive resource for physicians interested in improving their techniques in office-based teaching while maintaining the efficiency of their practice. It covers teaching skills in a format succinct and focused enough to allow busy clinicians to identify chapters that address their specific needs. Additionally, each major topic is summarized in an Appendix that includes additional tips, tools, and resources for preceptors.
