%0 Journal Article %T Teaching models in the clinical years of medical education %A Anmol Bipin Patel %A Harkaran Singh Kalkat %J Archive of "Advances in Medical Education and Practice". %D 2019 %R 10.2147/AMEP.S186141 %X Students are exposed to a range of teaching methods during the pre-clinical and clinical years of medical school.

As clinical years approach, there is a swift move towards hospital-based teaching, where students have the independence to make the most of learning opportunities during placements. As learning objectives during medical studies, a corresponding change in teaching method is necessary. However, a sudden transition between teaching models or an overreliance on any one can be detrimental %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6536123/
