In medical education, Teaching is a “formal and organized process of transmitting knowledge to a person or group”[1]

Methods of faculty physicians
Methods of teaching faculty include role modeling and teaching tactics.
Some aspects overlap as well as some aspects may conflict.
- Knowledgeable and efficiency as attributes for role modeling is also an important tactic for teaching.
- Most attributes for role modeling may require time to occur which may conflict with efficiency of teaching as a tactic.
Teaching tactics
Teaching tactics used by individual faculty during clinical care have been validated:[2]
- Learning climate
- Control of session. Efficiency, attention to time, complete, agenda setting, avoided digressions
- Communication of goals
- Promoting and understanding retention
- Evaluation
- Feedback
- Promoting self-directed learning
- Teacher’s knowledge. Includes directing learners to use literature; discussed viewpoints other than is/her own.
Role modeling
Role-modeling behavior of quality physicians includes several attributes that have been recommended or studied[3][4][5]:
- Curiosity[5][6]:
- Caring, humanism[3], and kindness[5]
- Competence in clinical skills[3], including knowledgeable[5]
- Critical thinking[5]
- Humility[5]
- Promotes self-directed learning[5]
Learners’ perspectives on important attributes may differ from attributes that faculty value[7].
