Teaching in inpatient settings requires a unique approach to ensure effective learning. Good educators are enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and non-threatening, fostering an environment that promotes self-learning. They recognize each learner's needs, whether in team scenarios or individual interactions. Setting clear expectations, providing consistent feedback, and adapting teaching styles to learner levels are crucial. In a time-pressured environment, the emphasis on bedside teaching and hands-on experiences enriches learning and builds essential clinical skills. Ultimately, a respectful, supportive environment enhances educational intimacy and learner engagement.
