Book description
Inherent to the teaching and practice of emergency medicine are
specific challenges not found in other specialties - the unknowns of the
emergency department, the need to identify life- and limb-threatening
conditions, the pressure to solve problems and find solutions quickly,
and the orchestration of clinical specialists and ancillary services.
Because of these unique demands, books written by clinicians from
other disciplines, that extrapolate their information from other
specialties, aren't always suitable references for teachers of
emergency medicine. This book is different - it shows how to
incorporate effective teaching strategies into the unique teaching
atmosphere of the emergency department, how to effectively lecture,
lead small groups, give feedback, foster life-long faculty development
skills, and much more - it is written by emergency medicine physicians
for emergency medicine physicians.
Practical Teaching in Emergency Medicine gets to the essential
core of how to best teach the art of practicing emergency medicine -
and provides the blueprint to become a better teacher, providing
guidance on how to accomplish skilful teaching in busy emergency
departments. It provides emergency physicians and trainees with the
necessary tools to effectively and efficiently transmit information to
learners in the often times chaotic emergency department environment.
