Fostering learning in small groups

Drawing on years of experience, the authors address the questions that educators may have about teaching small groups in the health professions. The first half of the book focuses on practical strategies involved in planning and facilitating learning in small groups. The authors discuss the characteristics of effective groups and emphasize the importance of using a collaborative approach. The second half focuses on planning for leading small groups that have specific purposes such as providing a forum for discussion and dialogue, teaching communication skills, and helping learners to reflect on their patient care experiences, and more. The book's broad orientation and practical emphasis will be useful to all educators in health care.
