Beschreibung

Emergency medicine attendings who wish to hone their teaching skills can find a number of books on educational strategies written by physicians from other disciplines. However, until the publication of the first edition of this book, they did not have access to a text written by emergency medicine physicians on methods of teaching that are directly applicable to teaching EM. This book was compiled to meet that need.

Following the introductory section, which provides important background information, the book’s contents are organized into 4 sections that correspond to the core needs and interests of EM educators: Section 2 focuses on practical and ethical considerations of teaching in the ED; Section 3 provides strategies for teaching specific groups of learners; Section 4 looks at the skills that are characteristic of the best EM educators; and Section 5 looks indepthly at specific teaching techniques and strategies.

Now more than ever this book addresses the needs of physician educators from all over the world. New chapters discuss lecturing to an international audience; using simulation as a teaching tool; how to make journal club work for you, and other topics that are of broad interest to medical educators in this field.  In general, each chapter has been updated and reviewed to make sure the content was something that emergency physician educators could use in any country.

The chapter contributors are widely regarded as leaders in the field of emergency medicine education and faculty development. Authors were given free rein to develop their chapters and write in their own style. They were asked to present their personal views on how to successfully teach the art of emergency medicine, rather than review evidence-based guidelines regarding medical education. As a result, most of the chapters have few references. This first-person approach to a multi-authored textbook yields a compilation that varies in style from chapter to chapter and exposes the reader to a variety of communication techniques.

First and foremost, this book is dedicated to my beautiful wife, Tricia, and my two wonderful children, Harrison and Gabriella. Without their love, guidance, and constant support, this book would not have been possible. Family comes first.

I dedicate this book to all of the educators of emergency medicine in USA and around the world: may this book inspire you to educate how to teach our craft and deliver the best patient care possible.

To the emergency medicine residents and students at the University of Maryland: you are the reason I drive to work with energy and enthusiasm for teaching.

I would like to thank my mom and dad for their encouragement and love throughout life. I am where I am today because of them.

To Linda Kesselring, who edited the book and transformed its contents into an amazing work. The success of this book is due in large part to her tireless efforts.

Rob L. Rogers

My thanks to my family for their constant support; my colleagues, residents, and students for their inspiration to teach and to learn; and to all those who spend their time teaching emergency medicine around the world … may your efforts continue to help our specialty flourish.

Amal Mattu

To the medical students and emergency medicine residents at the University of Maryland for making me look forward to my shifts and to Lisa, Nicholas, Dylan, and Luke for making me happy to go home.

Joseph P. Martinez

To Erika, Hayden, Emma, Taylor, and Olivia, for your endless love and support; you are my world and my inspiration for everything. To the emergency medicine residents and faculty at the University of Maryland, it is a privilege to be your colleague.

Michael E. Winters

I am very excited to be involved as coeditor for the second edition of Practical Teaching in Emergency Medicine. My involvement stems from the enormous interest and growth of emergency medicine education, practice and development in the international setting, and from the demand to share the contents of this book with the international emergency medicine community. I would like to offer my deepest thanks to my coeditors, especially Rob Rogers, without whom this material would most likely still reside in the collective minds of our teachers instead of in a book form. I would also like to thank my beautiful wife Kristina without whom I would not be able to do most anything.

Preface

Considering the success of the first edition of this book, I wondered what important elements could or should be added to the second edition to make it even better. The first edition is already very comprehensive and useful for the physician who wants to become a better educator and learn the skills necessary to teach emergency medicine. So, what could be added to make the book even better? Well, to make sure the book addresses the needs of physician–educators from all over the world, chapters on lecturing to an international audience, using simulation as a teaching tool, how to make journal club work for you, and many other topics were added to the book. Each chapter was updated and reviewed to make sure the content was something that emergency physician–educators could use in any country. This edition is even better than the first, and we sincerely hope that it helps you in your mission as an educator in one of the best specialties in the house of medicine.

The emergency department (ED) is one of the most interesting and rewarding teaching venues in the house of medicine. No other environment offers such a rich blend of undifferentiated patient presentations and diseases. However, because of this diversity, the ED is also one of the most difficult places to teach. Many of our patients are desperately ill, and we must often reset our priorities quickly to meet their clinical demands. In this environment, emergency medicine educators are challenged to provide quality education for medical students and physicians-in-training.

Emergency medicine attendings who wish to hone their teaching skills can find a number of textbooks on educational strategies written by physicians from other disciplines. However, until now, they have not had access to a text written by emergency medicine physicians on methods of teaching that are directly applicable to our specialty. This book was compiled to meet that need. Its purpose is to provide educators in emergency medicine with a resource on best practices in teaching the art of emergency medicine. The contents are organized around the topics of teaching specific groups of learners, teaching in the ED, improving as an educator in emergency medicine, and appreciating various teaching techniques and strategies.

The chapter contributors are widely regarded as leaders in the field of emergency medicine education and faculty development. Authors were given free rein to develop their chapters and write in their own style. They were asked to present their personal views on how to successfully teach the art of emergency medicine rather than review evidence-based guidelines regarding medical education. As a result, most of the chapters have few references. This first-person approach to a multiauthored textbook yields a compilation that varies in style from chapter to chapter and exposes the reader to a variety of communication techniques. The editors hope that readers find useful models within these pages as they refine their own methods for teaching in the spectrum of venues where emergency medicine is taught.

Inherent in the teaching and the practice of emergency medicine are specific challenges not found in other specialties—the unknowns of the ED, the need to identify life- and limb-threatening conditions, the pressure to solve problems and find solutions quickly, and the orchestration of clinical specialists and ancillary services. Because of these unique demands of our practice, books written by clinicians from other disciplines may be helpful but not complete for us. Practical Teaching in Emergency Medicine was written by emergency medicine physicians for emergency medicine physicians. We hope you find the second edition to be a valuable resource toward teaching the art of practicing our beloved specialty.

Background/Introduction

Chapter 1

Adult Learners in The Emergency Department

Ellen J. O'Connell and Kurt C. Kleinschmidt

Learning begins before birth and continues to death. Notably, the process of learning changes throughout life. Children study topics because an authority figure dictates that they must. The child may argue the applicability of the topic to the “real world,” but ultimately the child must learn the material.

Adults seek to learn because of a motivation to do so. Adults seek experiences that have an identifiable impact on life. However, the motivation for adult learning is not always from within; external forces also affect motivation. Adults sometimes seek education, not because they are excited about the subject but because they know it is in their best interest. Adults seek learning so as to better interact with the real world. This is the difference between adult and childhood learning.

The purpose of this chapter is to explore the principles of adult education as they apply to teaching in the emergency department (ED). Examples of the principles will be applied to the ED setting. The terms learner and physician-in-training refer to anyone in the position of learning. A “teacher,” an “instructor,” or an “educator” is the person at any level of training who is in the teaching role.

Learning Theories

There are three recognized classic learning theories: behaviorism, cognitive learning, and constructivism [1]. Each of these theories influences curriculum design, teaching, and evaluation. Most educators use elements from each theory in any given situation rather than strictly adhering to one style.
