Description
Medical education — the art and science behind medical teaching and learning — has progressed remarkably. Teaching and learning have become more scientific and rigorous, curricula are based on sound pedagogical principles, and problem-based and other forms of active and self-directed learning have become the mainstream. We have progressed from the role of problem-identifier to that of solution-provider.
This book provides a balanced overview of the “why” of medical
education, emphasizing the need for change and adaptation, and the “how”,
by demonstrating the way concepts and theories of medical education can be of
immediate benefit to the medical teacher. In this improved second edition, student
assessment, curriculum, outcome-based education, clinical teaching, and problem-based
learning receive more emphasis with the addition of new chapters, essential
updates, and consolidation. The tone is more pragmatic, with implementable examples
and incorporation of newer evidence and better practices. However, one thing
has not changed: the book still targets medical teachers without a formal background
in education.

Review of the First Edition: “… writing is simple, concise and
free of jargon … They do an excellent job of covering the field of medical
education … is well organized and easy to read and their use of good instructional
design techniques not only helps facilitate comprehension of the material, but
also provides a good example for the reader to emulate … I highly recommend
this book for anyone entering the field of medical education. It would also
serve as an excellent text in faculty development fellowship programs and would
be a good addition to medical libraries in teaching hospitals, residency programs
and medical schools.”

Review of the First Edition: “… handy volume of description
… the book has references at the end of every chapter to satisfy the need.
If you are too busy for daily activity to read a thick book, this book will
help and attract you very much.”

Review of the First Edition: “I particularly like the way the 11 sessions,
38 chapters and all the subheadings have been clearly listed in the Contents
so that the reader should have little trouble in discovering where to look for
the topic of interest. The section on ‘Assessment and Evaluation’
is one of the better written sections as it provided practical points in guiding
medical teachers in the conduct of student assessment and evaluation …
The authors are to be warmly congratulated for having written a very useful
book. I strongly recommend this textbook to medical teachers.”
Annals, Academy of Medicine
Review of the First Edition: “Basics in Medical Education represents
a refreshing contribution to the current literature on education … the
beauty of the book lies not so much in its contents but in its simplicity of
language and its reader-friendly style of presentation.”
Singapore Medical Journal
Review of the First Edition: “… the authors have produced a
text that is a useful introductory tool for the general medical teacher with
references to further material if the reader wishes to explore the topics at
a deeper level.”

Review of the First Edition: “I think that teachers of both medical
students and science students would enjoy reading some or all of this book,
and hopefully having done so they will reflect on their teaching practice to
the benefit of their students.”
