‘What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches’. 
Karl Menninger

The ability to teach may appear intuitive or natural to some, but anyone with a desire to influence the learning of others can master the principle educational techniques. This course outlines how students model their behaviour on those displaying commendable attributes, and shows how a comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter, combined with preparation, effective educational and communication techniques, and confidence will lead towards becoming a respected and successful clinical educator.
