AbstractSkills in supervision, teaching, facilitation, assessment and feedback, leadership and interprofessional teamwork are required graduate attributes for health professionals. Despite this, the opportunity for learning these skills is rarely embedded within undergraduate and postgraduate health professional training curricula. Additionally, there are limited examples of interprofessional delivery of teaching programs. Since teaching skills can be learned, healthcare faculties play an important role in improving the teaching abilities of their students. At the University of Sydney, we developed and implemented interprofessional, blended learning teacher training programs for health professional students, and junior health professionals: The Peer Teacher Training (PTT) program, and the Clinical Teacher Training (CTT) program. Based on our successful programs, this paper provides an introduction to our Peer Teacher Training supplement. Namely, 11 articles designed to assist those who work and teach in a clinical context; address key challenges; and provide practical tips and frameworks to assist in teaching, assessment, and feedback.

Microteaching, a teacher training technique, provides teachers an opportunity to develop their teaching skills by self- practice and self-criticism. It is not at all a teaching method rather than it is a device for skill practice. All health professionals should have proper teaching skills for transfer of their knowledge which can be acquired by microteaching sessions. This article focusses on the need for microteaching, the process and its advantages.INTRODUCTION: The art of teaching not only means a simple transfer of knowledge from one to other, instead, it is a complex process which facilitates and influences the process of learning. Medical professionals always feel that their education does not prepare them for teaching. Quality of a teacher is evaluated on how much the students can understand from his/her teaching. The classrooms cannot be used as a learning platform for acquiring primary teaching skills. Training of medical teachers in specific teaching skills is a major challenge in medical education programs. However, society's increasingly high expectations on health professionals demand that they be taught and trained effectively.The traditional medical teaching emphasizes on the transmission of factual knowledge and hence, the teachers are the main source of information. But, the conventional methods of medical teacher training are not adequate. So, the teaching objectives have now shifted to the student centered, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely concept.Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences Vol. 3, No. 1, 2015: 60-64

Background: Clinical mentors play an important role in the development of knowledge and the acquisition of competencies of different health professionals. The success of the entire mentoring process also depends on the professional and personal characteristics of the clinical mentor. The purpose of this study was to identify which professional and personal characteristics of clinical mentors are relevant to physiotherapy (PHT) and social gerontology (SG) students. Methods: The web survey was performed between January 20 and May 15, 2018, using the adapted version of the nursing clinical teacher effectiveness inventory. The final sample consisted of 100 PHT and SG students from one of the Slovenian Universities. Results: The competencies “explains clearly” (p ˂ 0.001) and “takes responsibility of own actions” (p = 0.023) were statistically significantly more relevant to PHT students than to the SG students. The competencies “explains clearly” (p ˂ 0.001), “demonstrates clinical skill and judgment” (p = 0.033), “takes responsibility of own actions” (p = 0.023), and “is self-critical” (p = 0.023), were statistically significantly more relevant to PHT than to the SG students, while the statements “discusses current development in his/her field” (p = 0.002), “communicates expectations of students” (p = 0.029), “demonstrates empathy” (p = 0.037), “demonstrates enthusiasm” (p = 0.005), and “has a good sense of humor” (p = 0.005) were statistically significantly more relevant to SG students. Conclusion: The contrast in responses reflects the differences in the nature of both professions: The predominantly instrumental nature of PHT and the predominantly expressive nature of SG.
