Oxford Handbook of Medical Education in Practice

The Oxford Handbook of Medical Education in Practice is a
practical, easy-to-read guide on medical education for busy doctors and
healthcare professionals. Tailored for medical practitioners at all
levels who wish to engage in education but may lack the time or
expertise for in-depth research, this handbook offers practical advice
alongside case studies and scenarios based on experts\' educational
experiences. The chapters have been designed to follow an
easy-to-navigate structure and can be read in isolation or sequentially
as part of a broader, more comprehensive exploration of the field of
medical education. The handbook contains the accessible features you
would expect from the Oxford Medical Handbook series, including
lists, tables, figures, and pop-out boxes. It is a portable guide,
quickly referenced and applied, particularly when teaching opportunities
arise spontaneously.

Drawing on the expertise of experienced
scholars and educators internationally, and across stages of their
educational and academic careers, this comprehensive volume offers
advice within the key domains of medical education. These include:
curriculum design, assessment, learning strategies, clinical teaching,
educational theory, and the integration of technology. In addition to
its focus on educational practice, this handbook should also appeal to
those exploring medical education research for the first time, either as
readers of research, or researchers themselves, given the inclusion of
content on conducting medical education research.

In sum, by synthesising foundational research and practical wisdom, the Oxford Handbook of Medical Education in Practice
offers readers an opportunity to develop their understanding of the
principles and practices that shape contemporary medical education. In
doing so, we hope readers will feel empowered to make evidence- and
experience-based changes to their educational practice to improve
learners\' and patients\' experiences of education and care.
