Spanning 8 sections and 22 chapters, the book covers the full arc of a medical educator's responsibilities from foundational learning theories and curriculum design to large-group, small-group, and clinical teaching, skills training, and digital learning (including AI, simulation, and learning management systems). It also offers in-depth guidance on assessment methods (written, workplace-based, and clinical), standard setting, faculty development, educational leadership, medical education research, and quality assurance and accreditation, concluding with a chapter on the governance of medical education in Nepal.
Each chapter includes case-based practice questions with answers and explanations, making the book a practical companion for lesson planning, designing assessments, and strengthening everyday teaching practice.
Ideal for young faculty entering academia and for any clinician-teacher seeking a quick, reliable review of essential medical education concepts.
