Medical Education: Entrusting Faith in Bedside Teaching

Journal Title: Research and Development in Medical Education - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

Globally, patient safety and quality of health care services are the predominant challenges faced by the health care industry. To produce competent doctors it is essential to inculcate skills such as clinical reasoning, critical thinking, and self-directed learning among the medical students. Bedside teaching is a common teaching format in medical education where students are taught in an interactive manner with real patients in hospital wards which help them in acquiring the medical skills and interpersonal behavior necessary for their daily practice as doctors.
