Handbook of clinical teaching in nursing and health sciences / Marcia R. Gardner and Patricia Dunphy Suplee

Includes bibliographical references and index.

What makes a great clinical instructor? -- Exploring dimensions of the clinical faculty role -- Assessing your clinical group: what are they like? what do they need? -- Structuring the clinical experience: students, groups, and preceptors -- Clinical teaching strategies and techniques -- Assessing learning and achievement, and benchmarking student progress: the evaluation process -- Communicating with students -- Managing student diversity -- Integrating technology and simulation into teaching -- Protecting yourself as a clinical faculty member -- Growing as a clinical faculty member.

A quick resource for support of clinical teaching for nurses and other health professionals. Due to the growing nursing faculty shortage, clinicians are being recruited directly from the practice setting for clinical teaching without formal training in educational strategies. This handbook allows a clinical instructor to identify a question about clinical teaching, read, and quickly get ideas about how to effectively handle a situation or create the best learning environment within the clinical context.
