    I have just completed editing training materials under “Effective approaches to teaching ‎medical sciences” . My trainees (medical practitioners ) felt astonished to get such training and ‎material written by a non-medical specialist. To make them accept me as their trainer, I told ‎them that teaching/learning theory is an educationalist’s task rather than a physician’s. Beside ‎me , there were two other trainers who teach medical sciences in the faculty, but they didn’t ‎study educational courses. In fact, we have a dilemma ? Who is entitled to deal with teaching ‎medical sciences. Most of instructors in faculties of medicine are medical specialists who have ‎never been exposed to training in teaching , and they hardly accept to be trained by others ‎from outside the discipline. Remarkably , most of themes shown above are very familiar in ‎educational literature. However , the theory of teaching/learning medicine should focus on ‎strong association between theory and practice , a mechanism that educational specialists can ‎not realize. My solution is to locate at least one professor ,with specialty in education, in each ‎medical department but he /she should be trained in medical culture. He or she will help in ‎training physicians who undertake teaching tasks to recognize teaching methods, select and ‎develop authentic medical materials, guide assessment procedures , be able to solve problems of class management, motivation , and …etc. With regard to practice , the job ‎should be entirely left to physicians who are well trained in practical clinical teaching and ‎learning. ‎

    But remember to use the pads of your fingers, not your nails.
    You can almost think of your skin as a window into the health of your entire body.
    The supply of oxygen and the removal of wastes generated by the
    respiration of cells, both help maintain homeostasis in the body.

    And so the conditions for au pair London services are born: where a family is able
    to take on a hired help, usually foreign, in return for a wage and the chance for that help to learn English, and to live
    in London for a useful amount of time. The political policy of this nation is socialist in nature, meaning
    the government provides many services to its citizens.

    but they are pleasing to watch initially.

    What you published made a bunch of sense.

    But, what about this? what if you wrote a catchier post
    title? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added a post title that makes
    people desire more? I mean ABC of Learning and Teaching in Medicine:
    BMJ series | ANNE T.- V.’s BLOG is kinda plain. You could look at Yahoo’s home page and
    watch how they create news headlines to grab viewers to open the
    links. You might try adding a video or a picture or two
    to get people interested about what you’ve got to say.
    In my opinion, it might bring your posts a little bit more interesting.

    Clearly muslims see themselves as one enormous (persecuted) household – while liberals reject their own household” in favour of an alien individuals who don’t and under no circumstances will combine with us, and take into account us as lesser beings, infidels, and inferior. Most of the people who sway to the sound of the music, and lift their arms throughout the air in sycophantic worship, do not need Christ.

    […]  ASME has published a 2010 book called Understanding Medical Education.  This fairly lengthy textbook is quite reasonably priced and is available in a kindle version.  At a similar price for a more succinct BMJ publication you could look at the ABC of Learning and Teaching in Medicine, although I think it is only in hard copy as a book.  It is a similar presentation to their ABC books on clinical topics. However, the fourteen individual articles are available online in the BMJ via PubMed  https://annietv600.wordpress.com/2006/05/13/the-abc-of-learning-and-teaching-in-medicine-bmj-series-… […]
