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 short, this is a simple and non-intimidating book for general medical teachers to enhance their understanding of medical education and to improve their teaching.Royalties from the sale of this book will benefit basic health care needs of children in developing countries |
