Outstanding

This small, easily read book is absolutely outstanding. I found it really helped me to focus my efforts to teach learning physicians within the context of providing clinical care. Though some of the specifics don't fit my area of practice, the concepts outlined are exceptional and could be applied by any academic physician taking his or her teaching responsibilities seriously. It should, perhaps, be mandatory reading for all beginning academic physicians. If you're a teaching physician, read this book, give it some thought, and make yourself a better teacher.

Doctors Do It On Rounds!

Teaching during rounds is one of many tasks academic physicians accomplish during a busy work day. This neat little soft cover book contains many helpful tips for attending physicians and residents who are involved in the education of medical students. The authors address teaching in a variety of areas such as the bedside, the hallway, and the conference room. The last chapter nicely summarizes the recommendations given in each of the preceding chapters for both attendings as well as residents. Overall, this is a useful text for those with an interest in improving their teaching skills. Its main drawback is a lack of depth in most topics in the book.
