Bridging the gap between education theory and the delivery of excellent teaching, A Practical Guide for Medical and Health Professions Teachers, 7th Edition, provides accessible, highly readable, and practical information for those involved in basic science, clinical practice, and education in all the health professions. Highly regarded in these fields, this text offers valuable insights from global contributors who provide an international perspective as well as a multi-professional approach to topics relevant to all healthcare teachers. This fully revised edition provides timely updates on recent growth areas-from artificial intelligence, to the evolution of precision learning, to cultural awareness. It remains one of the foremost guides from top educationalists in the field.

This book presents ideas, evidence and guidance for those interested in using the most recent advances in knowledge about learning and human development to enhance medical education's ability to form competent, caring and publicly responsible physicians. It does this by establishing the development of a professional identity in medical students and residents as a primary goal of medical education. This new approach is emerging from experience and experiment by medical educators articulating a new way of understanding their mission. It is an optimistic book - the voices are those of the leaders, theorists and experienced practitioners who have found in this new approach a promising way to confront the challenges of a new era in medicine. It summarizes the theoretical basis of identity formation, outlines our current knowledge of how best to assist learners as they acquire a professional identity, and addresses the issue of assessment of progress towards this goal.

This volume addresses all facets of faculty development, including academic and career development, teaching improvement, research capacity building, and leadership development.

This second edition of 'Faculty Development in the Health Professions', originally published in 2014, presents updated chapters and new topics. It also highlights changes in the evidence base for faculty development and identifies recommendations for research and practice in the field. With chapter authors coming from five continents, it builds on and presents global lessons learned for an international audience.This book describes a multitude of ways, ranging from workshops to the workplace, in which health professionals can develop their knowledge and skills as teachers and educators, leaders and managers, and researchers and scholars. By providing an informed and scholarly overview of faculty development, and by describing original content that has not been previously published, this book helps to ensure that research and evidence inform practice, move the scholarly agenda forward, and promote dialogue and debate in this evolving field. It serves as an invaluable resource for faculty development program planning, implementation and evaluation, and helps to sustain faculty members’ vitality and commitment to excellence.
