ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines the key issues in how to succeed in a teaching station, from the general approach to a step-by-step guide to be able to teach any form of knowledge or skill so that it may be adapted to any type of teaching task. The aim of a teaching session is to provide a planned experience such that there is an improvement in knowledge or skills. Most medical educators would argue that the introduction to the teaching session is the most important part of the teaching event. The most likely teaching stations to arise will include teaching a practical skill, teaching the management of emergency, teaching a non-technical task and teaching about a particular clinical condition. Teaching a non-technical skill could be seen as easier than teaching a practical skill. When teaching about a clinical condition, it is important to employ a structured approach.
