Abstract:

The goal of this presentation is to present specific pedagogic strategies to enhance interaction among learners and clinicians in patient care environments. This presentation discusses the challenges and pressures of clinical teaching, perceived problems in clinical education in athletic training and across the health sciences, and the role of the patient in clinical learning. Concrete strategies are suggested that can help clinicians create more purposeful interactions with learners in conjunction with authentic patient interactions.
