Teaching and Development

This course emphasises the central role of patients in teaching, reflecting the move away from the approach of teaching about patients to the more inclusive approach of teaching with patients. The course includes topics such as communication skills, planned and unplanned teaching, clinical reasoning, interprofessional practice, and feedback and debriefing.

This course focuses on the assessment of student learning. Participants are encouraged not only to understand all the dimensions of the tests they are administering, but also to think broadly about assessment in the context of assuring patient safety and the ongoing development of the clinical learner. Topics include programmatic assessment, self- and peer assessment, and blueprints.
