Von der hinteren Coverseite

Teaching during Rounds is a compact, practical handbook designed to help attending physicians and residents improve their teaching skills, specifically in the context of medical rounds. Donn Weinholtz and Janine Edwards focus on the types of rounds usually encountered on inpatient services in departments of internal medicine or pediatrics, but the general principles they elaborate may be applied elsewhere.

Weinholtz and Edwards begin by presenting the different groups of people who may participate in rounds: medical students, interns, residents, attending physicians, and others. They then address the orientation process and the need to allocate time for teaching. They discuss methods of teaching in the conference room as well as at the bedside. And they stress the importance of providing constructive feedback and involving other health professionals in the educational process.

Throughout the book, Weinholtz and Edwards illustrate their points with concrete examples and real-life anecdotes, largely taken from their own research. Teaching during Rounds is an important book for attending physicians and residents as well as for all with an interest in medical education.
