Clinical Educators Faculty Development Module (On-Demand)-Tips for Clinical Teaching with Limited Time

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webinar, presented by Dr. Christine Black-Langenau, focused on practical strategies for clinical teaching when time is limited. She discussed common challenges in busy clinical settings, including packed schedules, unknown learner abilities, patient complexity, and the need to stay on time.<br /><br />Dr. Black emphasized adult learning principles: learners need purpose, relevance, active involvement, clear expectations, feedback, and reflection. She recommended creating a productive environment by introducing yourself, learning the student’s background, and being approachable, respectful, enthusiastic, and organized.<br /><br />Key teaching strategies included orienting students to the setting, using probing questions, allowing wait time, thinking out loud, and modeling clinical reasoning. She also suggested staying in the room as a “scribe” while the student interviews the patient, which allows observation, feedback, efficiency, and better patient comfort. Other tips included comparing cases, using teachable moments, delegating teaching to staff, and adapting questions based on learner level using the RIME framework.<br /><br />She encouraged use of reliable teaching aids such as guidelines, review articles, and reputable websites, and highlighted the importance of discussing wellness, burnout, and lifelong learning. The session concluded with a discussion of how the scribe model benefits both patients and students.
