Principles of Medical Education

Tejinder Singh, Piyush Gupta and Daljit Singh

Jaypee Brothers; New Delhi

Pages: 210; Price: Rs. 295/-.

This is an excellent compilation of every possible aspect of medical education; needs of both the learner and the teacher have been attended to. Complex concepts have been made comprehensible through generous use of examples. I particularly enjoyed the chapters that dealt with clinical teaching, and with assessment. We teachers are sorely in need of reminding that there is a method to the madness of teaching, and many advantages to learning how to teach effectively. Medical students must get the best learning deal possible to ensure they become competent, humane, and ethical medical practitioners. This book is a big step in that direction.
