title: Commentary: patient education presentations.
abstract: Medical students often learn how to teach through observation of residents and attendings. The project described enables them to actively teach groups of patients, and allows them to begin developing their own style of teaching. It also demonstrates to the students that teaching is a skill to be learned, and methods may vary tremendously.
