Creating a safe bedside teaching environment: a personal experience

Abstract

Active learning is increasingly used as a teaching
method in modern medical curricula. Therefore
I have adopted case-based group discussions as
an educational method for nephrology bedside teaching.
In these sessions the students had first to review the
patient’s history from the case record and summarise the
important and vital points. This was followed by a group
discussion focusing on the management plan during an
outpatient consultation or hospital admission. Through
the discussions I got to know the students’ thoughts on
the management of the case in question and provided
them with feedback.
