HOW TO LEARN AND TEACH IN MEDICAL SCHOOL by Mark E. Quirk Pdf

This book can be used by students, faculty, and administrators to enhance the process of medical education. Medical students can use it to develop and refine their learning skills, assess their individual learning needs, identify resources to meet these needs, and to prepare themselves for critical learning events and transitions. Faculty can use this book to understand the learning process and develop teaching skills, thereby providing a framework for critically assessing how they teach. Administrators can use it to expose inadequacies in the medical education process and to strengthen the teaching and learning environment. Certain chapters of this book could serve as required readings for a medical school course on learning. The development and implementation of such a course, and the commensurate application of the espoused principles of learning and teaching to the educational process, would signal true medical educational reform. It would signify that critical attention is being paid to those aspects of learning medicine thought to be crucial: reading the literature, self-directedness, critical thinking/problem solving, lifelong learning and creativity. Such a course would be as important as any basic science course or clinical rotation to the training of future physicians who would use these skills throughout their professional lives. The book could serve as a foundation for faculty development with medical educators. In this regard, Part One provides insight into how medical students learn and has significant implications for teaching. Parts Two and Three provide practical guidelines for teaching and curriculum development from a learner-cen-tered perspective.

What They Didn’t Teach You at Medical School by Alan V. Parbhoo Pdf

During medical training there are certain tasks that are not taught at medical school nor in the common reference books. There are some skills that medical students are expected to learn by ‘osmosis’. These skills are never officially taught or examined in medical school, but are, however, a fundamental part of being a safe, good and efficient doctor. This book includes ‘golden rules’ or important points to remember and case examples, both of which are given as displayed extracts. This book will help the junior doctor unlock their potential and improve their performance, cutting the time it takes to achieve certain medical objectives. It is meant to fill in the gaps where the medical school and clinical guides stop. It gives the reader the information needed to organise themselves so that they can hit the ground running. It is not intended as a clinical survival guide, but more a friendly hand to allow the reader to get ahead in medicine and how to keep on track and develop a career path.

Teaching and Learning Methods in Medicine by Shabih Zaidi,Mona Nasir Pdf

This book considers the evolution of medical education over the centuries, presents various theories and principles of learning (pedagogical and andragogical) and discusses different forms of medical curriculum and the strategies employed to develop them, citing examples from medical schools in developed and developing nations. Instructional methodologies and tools for assessment and evaluation are discussed at length and additional elements of modern medical teaching, such as writing skills, communication skills, evidence-based medicine, medical ethics, skill labs and webinars, are fully considered. In discussing these topics, the authors draw upon the personal experience that they have gained in learning, teaching and disseminating knowledge in many parts of the world over the past four decades. Medical Education in Modern Times will be of interest for medical students, doctors, teachers, nurses, paramedics and health and education planners.

Symptoms and Diagnosis by Nabin Sapkota Pdf

This very readable book helps you learn medicine through true stories of patients' medical symptoms, and will help you understand what your body is trying to tell you when you are sick. Calling your doctor won't help you when you don't understand your symptoms correctly since doctors make diagnoses based on how patients describe their symptoms. Knowing common heart attack symptoms won't help you when you can't recognize the subtle feeling in your chest. The twenty true medical stories cover most organ systems and represent the majority of diseases and conditions that are seen in most acute-care hospitals in the U.S. Each story describes how a patient felt at the onset of symptoms and connects it to what actually happened inside the organs. This book offers the insight you need to help get a diagnosis quickly at a critical time when every second counts.

Basics in Medical Education by Zubair Amin,Khoo Hoon Eng Pdf

Medical education — the art and science behind medical teaching and learning — has progressed remarkably. Teaching and learning have become more scientific and rigorous, curricula are based on sound pedagogical principles, and problem-based and other forms of active and self-directed learning have become the mainstream. We have progressed from the role of problem-identifier to that of solution-provider. This book provides a balanced overview of the “why” of medical education, emphasizing the need for change and adaptation, and the “how”, by demonstrating the way concepts and theories of medical education can be of immediate benefit to the medical teacher. In this improved second edition, student assessment, curriculum, outcome-based education, clinical teaching, and problem-based learning receive more emphasis with the addition of new chapters, essential updates, and consolidation. The tone is more pragmatic, with implementable examples and incorporation of newer evidence and better practices. However, one thing has not changed: the book still targets medical teachers without a formal background in education.

The assembled authors represent a "Who's Who" in medical education around the world.
