any practitioner who educates residents, students, and beginning
surgeons. "A must-have, must-read for any CME professional who
has been searching for a guide on faculty training and development. The
layout of
AO Principles of Teaching and Learning
is such that each chapter or section can stand on its own and is less
prescriptive or textbook-like than it is pragmatic and user-friendly.
Fully referenced, with suggestions for further reading, each section is
dedicated to a How-To task...Practical tips [on how to run an operating
room personnel (ORP) course] could prove to be invaluable to CME
providers who are developing education for allied health professionals
or conducting cross-functional team training exercises for groups of
varied disciplines and learners. A section on Audience Response Systems
(ARS)...would be a helpful refresher to CME professionals and faculty
alike. The entire CME community gets to benefit from the wisdom [of this
book]."--The Journal of Continuing Education in the Health
