Clinical Teacher

Aims & Scope

The Clinical Teacher is the journal for clinicians who teach and people who are involved in education in a health care setting.

It provides easy access to the latest research, practice and thinking in clinical education across the health professions, presented in a readable, stimulating and practical style.

There are sections on specific teaching approaches, reports and evaluation of innovative learning activities, brief overviews of the latest research published in Medical Education and other relevant journals, reports of innovative thinking and advances in clinical teaching from around the world, and expert commentary and discussion on challenging and controversial issues in today's clinical education.

The international editorial team behind The Clinical Teacher is acutely aware of the demands on clinicians’ time.

All papers are concise, and focus on the topics that matter.

They are reviewed and edited to high standards by a strong technical and clinically orientated international editorial board to ensure that clinical teachers are provided with easily assimilated and up-to-date information.

Clinical teachers are renowned for the passion they bring to their work.

The Clinical Teacher aims to support that work, and to help share the passion with colleagues internationally.
