Effective Teaching: A Guide for Educating Healthcare Providers

This reference manual, part of a learning package developed through a collaboration between the World Health Organization and JHPIEGO, contains 12 modules on topics such as facilitating group learning, managing clinical practice, and preparing and using knowledge and skills assessments. The modules include examples related to maternal, reproductive and child health.

The learning package is designed for classroom and clinical faculty members in schools of medicine, nursing and midwifery as well as other cadres of healthcare providers. It was designed to ensure that faculties have the classroom and clinical skills required to teach effectively. Field-tested in Egypt, the package comprises this reference manual, a Guide for Learners and a Guide for Facilitators. It is a flexible package that combines individual study and exercises with application of learning and feedback from the facilitator.

The Guide for Learners includes the course syllabus, instructions on working with the facilitator and 23 exercises that correspond specifically to the different modules of the manual.

The Guide for Facilitators contains the syllabus, discussion of the facilitator’s role, options for using the package, and suggestions on providing feedback and facilitating skills practice and feedback sessions. [Publisher’s description]
