Synopsis

"The Athletic Trainer's Pocket Guide to Clinical Teaching" is a user-friendly handbook designed to provide athletic training clinical educators with practical information on effective clinical teaching. With an understanding that athletic trainers are sometimes unfamiliar with their specific roles and responsibilities when serving as clinical instructors, Dr. Thomas Weidner has created the go-to resource that can be called upon while in the clinical setting. "The Athletic Trainer's Pocket Guide to Clinical Teaching" is a condensed, well-organized reference tool that will assist clinical instructors, clinical coordinators, program directors, and students with their roles and responsibilities on the clinical education team. Each chapter concludes with synthesis questions to help make connections with one's own unique environment and situation. This title features: a general background on effective clinical teaching; relevant educational theory; specific ideas and strategies for teaching in different clinical settings and situations; evaluation and feedback; content on how to approach challenges in clinical teaching; and, information for conducting initial and continuing Approved Clinical Instructor (ACI) training. "The Athletic Trainer's Pocket Guide to Clinical Teaching" has answered the call to provide a book that offers information specific to the athletic training clinical instructor.
