Book excerpt: Many medical care decisions are made in outpatient settings, yet physician training continues to be conducted in inpatient settings. Emphasizing the benefits of ambulatory teaching for both medical students and office-based physicians, this work offers advice on starting and carrying out medical education in outpatient settings. It describes basic elements of learning theory and the student-teacher relationship, and provides tips on preparing students to interact with patients. Since most physicians have no formal training as teachers, methods for evaluating the teacher are included. Durso teaches medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
