Teaching and supervising colleagues are important and integral parts of clinical practice. The role of the teacher is shifting from a didactic giver of information to a facilitator of learning.
Additionally, as trainees move into a Consultant/General Practitioner role they will be frequently called upon to facilitate and lead meetings. The Tomorrow’s Teachers II: The Art of Facilitation course focuses particularly on teaching in the workplace.
