BDA for Clinical Teaching Presentation & Activity

Published on Nov 19, 2015

This deck offers an overview of the BDA (Before-During-After) framework to structure teaching in clinical settings. The purpose of the approach is to help the clinical educator to identify learning objectives for particular encounters, specify the expectations for the medical student's participation in the encounter, and engage the student in appropriate follow-up activity to the encounter (e.g., feedback; drafting SOAP note, etc). Included in this deck are two teaching scenarios to practice applying this BDA framework to teaching in clinical settings. The FID website has additional teaching scenarios available for this purpose. Coming soon! A Haiku Deck on RIME that includes RIME-based teaching scenarios.
