ABSTRACT

This chapter presents scenarios that illustrate teaching encounters in a variety of commonly used clinical settings. Medical schools have to extend clinical experience and supervision experiences for their students to settings where students have not normally been present, and also have to consider 'smarter' ways of using the more traditional settings to provide adequate opportunities to learn how to be a medical practitioner in the near future. In particular, hospital-based clinical teachers need to think about how to include community and primary care as a setting in which students learn about hospital medicine. This is not really as revolutionary as it sounds, as more and more hospital medicine is being relocated to community care teams.
