Clinical learning environments can be challenging since they are locations where clinical care and education can clash. Here are a few recent resources that you might find interesting to review to help you think about your own teaching environments.
The Medical Education in Cases (MEdIC) series was a case-based set of faculty development modules. Here are five cases that will make you think differently about your clinical learning environments:
- The Case of the Exasperated Educator
- The Case of the Culture Clash
- The Case of the Backroom Blunder
- The Case of the Solo Senior
All cases are creative commons, so please feel free to share them print them, and use them to facilitate local discussions.
2. International Clinician Educator Blog (ICE blog)
The ICE blog is an international, English-language blog with contributors from all over the world. Here is a selection of posts that we think will resonate with you as a clinician educator.
- How to teach “diagnosis” and “patient management” by Rob Woods
- Moving Away from the Battlefield: Stress and Learning in MedEd by Ben Kinnear
- Teaching that Counts Infographics series by McMaster faculty member Alim Nagji & resident Krista Dowhos
