Oxford Textbook of Medical Education

Dr Kieran Walsh is Clinical Director of BMJ Learning - the education service of the BMJ Group. He is responsible for the editorial direction of BMJ Online Learning, BMJ Masterclasses and BMJ onExamination. He has written over 200 articles for publication - mainly in the field of medical education. He has previously written two books - the first on cost and value in medical education and the second a dictionary of medical education quotations. He has worked in the past as a hospital doctor - specialising in care of the elderly medicine and neurology.

This then is the book for the modern clinical teacher. It is a comprehensive and evidence based guide to all those who have a role or an interest in the training and education of doctors. And, unlike many other textbooks in the field, it covers the educational principles, the underpinning evidence, and the application of what is known to all aspects of medical education from curriculum design to standard setting for assessment, and from selecting students for medical school to continuing professional development of practicing clinicians.
