"There remains a lack of brief, readily accessible and up to date medical education articles that are of direct use to clinician teachers. Yet their teaching roles are becoming more demanding and there is an increasing expectation that clinician teachers will gradually professionalize what they do. Much has changed in the themes and subjects covered by the original ABC in the past four years. The current edition is effectively out of date particularly in the areas of course design, collaborative learning, small group teaching, feedback, assessment and the creation of learning materials"--Provided by publisher.
