Teaching Guides for Clinical Settings

While basic science faculty who teach during preclinical years will not be teaching in clinical settings, it may be helpful to understand the use of inquiry for teaching in clinical settings, the roles medical students can play in patient care, and the educational strategies clinical educators use. Below are a few examples of these.

• Reflective Teaching Guide for applying the B-D-A reflective approach to teaching, with tips for giving formative feedback

• Microskills Card (Issue 2014) 

• RIME (Reporter-Interpreter-Manager-Educator) Framework (RIME may be a useful framework for CBI to emphasize the roles students are performing in solving a case)

• Educational Strategies for clinical educators may be adapted for use in CBI facilitated sessions to identify the kinds of inquiries students in which students should engage.
