15. Discussion & Reflection
• How do we assess
our trainee
competency ?
• How do we
communicate that
assessment with our
trainee?

16. Clinical Competency Framework
Watch the following video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=ifTAzAiTPQY
Answer the following questions
• What does the trainee
demonstrate for each RIME
Level?
• What types of questions that
trainee can answer for each
RIME Level?

17. RIME Clinical Competency
Framework
• R.I.M.E Model
– Describes performance goals for trainees.
– Apply to single encounter or to overall
performance .
From Sally Santen M.D., Ph.D: Teaching and Assessing Clinical Skills https://www.coursera.org/course/clinicalskills
23. Discussion & Reflection
• How do you plan and
conduct your bedside
teaching ?

26. Clinical Bedside Teaching: Challenges
• Teacher related challenges .
• Patient related challenges .
• Student related challenges .
• Environmental challenges .
27. Prepare The Teacher
• Prepare The Teacher
– Consider the “six domains of knowledge”
1. Medicine
2. Patients
3. Context
4. Learners
5. General principles of teaching
6. Case-based teaching scripts
• Prepare The patient.
• Prepare The student.

35. When the session is over?
• Preceptor and students need a framework
or structure to focus the outcomes of the
teaching session.
• Acronym EPITOMISE links to the major
learning outcomes.

Editor's Notes
Pattern Recognition
Instinctual, rapid responses; effortless and autonomous
Require no active thought
First impressions, no input from analytic component
Valuable and usually accurate but can be source of cognitive errors
Learned by repeated exposure and feedback
Consistently good in interpersonal skills, reliably obtains and communicates clinical findings
History and physical
Recognizes normal from abnormal
Answers “what” questions
Able to prioritize and analyze patient problems, develop a differential diagnosis and next steps in the workup
Uses clinical reasoning
Includes pertinent positives and negatives (based on interpretation)
Prioritizes differential diagnosis
Answers “why” questions
Consistently proposes reasonable diagnostic and therapeutic options, incorporating patient preferences
Reasonable options in management and plan
Patient centered
Answers “how” questions
Consistent level of knowledge of current medical evidence; demonstrates self-directed learning and contributes to others’ education
Defines important questions
Looks for evidence
Shares what they learn
Teacher related challenges.
Clinical bedside teaching should be done by more leading doctors.
Clinical bedside teaching done by more junior doctors.
Inexperienced at bedside teaching.
Fear of losing control of the session.
Fear of difficult questions.
Out-faced by large number of students.
Patient related challenges.
No suitable/available patient
Patient too tired
Patient discomfort
Patient absent
Patient privacy
Uncooperative patient
Prepare The teacher
Knowledge of medicine: integrating the patient’s clinical problem with background knowledge of basic sciences, clinical sciences and clinical experience
Knowledge of patients: a familiarity with disease and illness from experience of previous patients
Knowledge of the context: an awareness of patients in their social context and at their stage of treatment
Knowledge of learners: an understanding of the students’ present stage in the course and of the curriculum requirements for that stage
Knowledge of the general principles of teaching, including:
Getting students involved in the learning process by indicating its relevance
Asking questions, perhaps by using the patient as an example of a problem-solving approach to the condition
Keeping students’ attention by indicating the relevance of the topic to another situation
Relating the case being presented to broader aspects of the curriculum
Meeting individual needs by responding to specific questions and providing personal tuition
Being realistic and selective so that relevant cases are chosen
Providing feedback by critiquing case reports, presentations or examination technique
Knowledge of case-based teaching scripts: the ability to present the patient as representative of a certain clinical problem; the specifics of the case are used but added to from other knowledge and experiences in order to make further generalized comments about the condition.
Prepare The patient
Check the availability of patients and ensure they agree to take part in the session.
Prepare The student
Find out how many students to expect and what stage of the course they are in.
