Description
Book SynopsisEmergency medicine attendings who wish to hone their teaching skills can find a number of books on educational strategies written by physicians from other disciplines. However, until the publication of the first edition of this book, they did not have access to a text written by emergency medicine physicians on methods of teaching that are directly applicable to teaching EM. This book was compiled to meet that need.
Following the introductory section, which provides important background information, the book's contents are organized into 4 sections that correspond to the core needs and interests of EM educators: Section 2 focuses on practical and ethical considerations of teaching in the ED; Section 3 provides strategies for teaching specific groups of learners; Section 4 looks at the skills that are characteristic of the best EM educators; and Section 5 looks indepthly at specific teaching techniques and strategies.

Trade Review
“This book is structured and organized to be an easy-to-follow guide on becoming a better educator in emergency medicine. . . The mechanics of treatment are thoroughly explained in this book by leaders in emergency medicine education, providing best practices and effectively focusing on the emergency medicine venue.” (The Annals of Pharmacotherapy, 1 July 2013)
“This is an easy-to-read book ideal for junior faculty in emergency medicine. The summaries at the end of each chapter are well written and high yield. The book describes practical ways of teaching that can be easily applied and includes references for resources to fill out the details not supplied in the book. The advantage of the second edition is the focus on complementing education with online resources and technology that appeal to this generation's learners.” (Doody’s, 17 May 2013)
