Learning and Teaching in Clinical Contexts

Featuring the perspectives of more than 40 leading international researchers, theorists and practitioners in clinical education, Learning and Teaching in Clinical Contexts:: A Practical Guide provides a bridge between the theoretical aspects of clinical education and the delivery of practical teaching strategies.
