Introduction

Summary

Drawing on case studies, updated papers from BJPsych Advances and specially commissioned new chapters, this book takes a scholarly approach to the whole range of teaching and learning as applied to psychiatry. This covers direct teaching of the speciality of psychiatry through to educational management, coaching and mentoring. It provides essential information on topics not often covered, and it will provide guidance for busy clinicians who are acting as trainers, and for those who teach and train medical students in university departments

Many of the chapters are written by figures of significant educational status within clinical psychiatry. These include a new chapter on literature searching; chapters on technological aspects of teaching such as webinars and virtual placements (the importance of which has been brought into focus by the recent effects of the pandemic on how training is organized); and writing for learning and publication.
