bedside teaching

Bedside teaching is a method used in medical education where experienced healthcare professionals, such as doctors or nurses, teach students or trainees directly at the patient's bedside. This approach allows learners to observe real-life patient care, engage in discussions about diagnosis and treatment, and develop practical skills in a clinical setting. It promotes hands-on learning, critical thinking, and direct interaction with patients, enhancing both medical knowledge and the healthcare experience. This method emphasizes the importance of integrating theoretical learning with practical application in medicine.
