Advanced Medical Teaching Skills for Doctors

While the GMC states that every doctor has a professional responsibility to be a teacher, it’s just as important that doctors are good  teachers. This  will provide you with the tools and practical techniques to deliver a higher standard of medical education. This course is aimed at who are passionate about education, and who want to build on their existing medical teaching skills to work towards becoming a first class teacher. 

Features of the course:

·         Draw the skill development model and explain the eight core parts

·         Successfully coach any type of individual, recognising how to bring out the best in each person

·         Describe the 13 characteristics which help the medical teacher communicate

·         Write a standard, behaviour & condition for a learning objective, identifying clearly each part

·         Describe the KIM model and state its’ two advantages to training

·         Use the eight teaching behaviours for interactivity

·         Name the five responsibilities that the teacher holds

·         Illustrate the four types of questioning techniques

·         Name four of the five reasons why a student may be having problems

·         Describe lighthousing and how it improves communication

·         Explain the effective feedback model; describe each of the five parts

At the end of the course each delegate will also be able to:

·         Keep a record of their learning experiences so that learning points can be reflected upon and referred to after the course

·      Have the opportunity to prepare a detailed Action Plan which sets SMART objectives, activities with timescales, together with the Record of Learning and Action Plan, a method of incorporating what you have learnt into your everyday practice

Be advised that you will be asked to deliver a 10-minute teaching session on Day 1, followed by a 15-minute teaching session on Day 2.
