Introduction
Throughout this article, there are a series of three activities designed to help give the reader some insight into their own teaching practice. To gain maximum benefit, they should be attempted before further reading of the article. By reflecting upon current practice, the reader will gain a greater understanding of the techniques and principles described.
The specialty of emergency medicine has a long association with teaching. By virtue of its role in the acute phase of patient management and the "hands on" nature of the specialty, emergency physicians often take a prominent role in both undergraduate and postgraduate education. In addition, emergency physicians form a significant proportion of the faculties for most of the short courses run by the Resuscitation Council (UK), Advanced Life Support Group and the Royal College of Surgeons.
Traditionally, doctors have had little training in how to teach properly. Senior clinicians may follow the bad example
