Identifying and training effective clinical teachers--new directions in clinical teacher training.
Decisions about recruitment of clinical teachers and about the content of clinical teacher training programs are complex.

These are grouped into four thematic categories--personal attributes, educational theory and principles, core clinical teaching skills, and mentored instructional activities.
