Teaching in the Hospital (Teaching Medicine Series)

The complexity of hospitalized patients and the day-to-day issues that arise on inpatient services make teaching in the hospital as challenging as it is unique. Hospital-based medical educators (hospitalists and attending physicians) must be adaptable and teach a wide range of topics, all while administering effective patient care. Written by experts in the field, Teaching in the Hospital offers a unique perspective on the goals of inpatient teaching and practical advice for hospitalists and attendings who teach on the wards. This unique book includes clinical problem-based “teaching scripts” illustrating the dialogues that can take place around 15 of the most frequently encountered inpatient clinical problems. A part of ACP’s Teaching Medicine Series, this title is available individually or as a part of the complete six-book set.
