Product Description

The Athletic Trainer's Pocket Guide to Clinical Teaching is a user-friendly handbook designed to provide practical information on effective clinical teaching.

With an understanding that athletic trainers are sometimes unfamiliar with their specific roles and responsibilities when serving as Approved Clinical Instructors, Dr. Thomas Weidner has created the go-to resource that can be called upon while in the clinical setting.

The Athletic Trainer's Pocket Guide to Clinical Teaching is a condensed, well-organized reference tool that will assist Approved Clinical Instructors, Clinical Instructor Educators, and others associated with clinical education with the roles and responsibilities of the clinical education team. Each chapter concludes with reflection questions to help make connections with one's own unique environment and situation.

Features include:

  • A general background on effective clinical teaching
  • Relevant educational theory
  • Specific ideas and strategies for teaching in different clinical settings and situations
  • Evaluation and feedback
  • Content on how to approach challenges in clinical teaching
  • Information for conducting initial and continuing Approved Clinical Instructor (ACI) training

The Athletic Trainer's Pocket Guide to Clinical Teaching has answered the call to provide a book that offers information specific to the athletic training clinical instructor.

Review

"The book clearly describes a wide range of clinically relevant educational theories and models and directly relates each one to athletic training principles. Many concise and useful text boxes summarize and highlight key material, and an appendix details multiple resources for use in implementation and evaluation of a clinical educational program. Any clinicians who serve as educators of athletic training students will find multiple concepts and tools in this book to enhance their abilities and broaden their skill set as teachers or mentors. It is well written, thorough, and easy to follow, and the concepts are current, relevant, and insightful."
