Audience: Ambulatory care physicians.
Overview:
The authors of this book wrote their experience in Medical teaching in Ambulatory care and the
importance of it as the progress in Medicine shifts more patients from inpatient hospital setting
to ambulatory care and how it is different than the traditional inpatient environment and
needs.
It starts by defining different terminology related to teaching and Adult learning. Followed by
different teaching skills and strategy. The authors explore the challenges they faced in setting
up the office for teaching and with different solutions. Different strategies of daily teaching
were detailed. ͞When a motivated student encounters an enthusiastic teacher in a conducive
environment, learning seems easy͟ but what if there is a defect in one of the components of
the triad! In the last chapter of the book explained the importance of the evaluation and 2
direction evaluation.
Strength: Practical, concise, easy language to read book. The book work as a good introduction
to the medical education, but not detailed enough, but give you the clue where to find the next
step.
Weakness: some important points mentioned briefly or passively like evaluation; the use of
advanced technology, EMR, email communication most likely it is too advanced at the time of
publishing the book in 2003.
Recommendation: Read 3rd edition.
