Building a Community of Learning in General Practice

Associate Professor Jennifer Thomson and Associate Professor Katrina Anderson are very experienced GPs and internationally renowned medical educators. They have taught medical students, junior doctors and registrars, and have run continuing professional development activities for practising doctors. Their passion to continually improve the quality of medical education is clear to all who meet them. They are regularly sought out for their educational expertise and insights. Drawing on their years of experience as clinicians and educators, they have written this wonderful resource for anyone wanting to develop their teaching expertise.

The book is orientated around the realities of Australian general practice, and is of particular help to those working in that sector. But that orientation should not deter people working in other health settings from adding this book to their educational resources. The book is full of grounded and practical educational examples, advice, and tips that have proven to be effective in time-pressured clinical environments. It is relevant to anyone seeking to continuously improve educational activities in such contexts. The book is designed for the busy clinician to easily pick up a copy, quickly find some helpful information and practically apply it with ease.
