Planning a medical lecture

Abstract EN

The aims of the lecture should be clearly defined.

These will help to define the teaching methods and the structure.

If, for example, the purpose of the lecture is to introduce new knowledge and concepts, then a classic lecture structure might be most appropriate.

On the other hand, if the purpose is to make the students aware of different approaches to a particular clinical problem, a problem oriented design in which alternative approaches are presented and discussed might be a more appropriate format.

Lectures are still a common teaching method in both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education.

Properly done, the lecture is a creative and personal work by the teacher modeled upon his intellectual scaffolding.

Few other forms of instructional method dementia such a high degree of originality from the teachers, making it both challenging anal rewarding for them.

Their continued popularity is due to the fact that they represent an effective and efficient means of teaching new concepts and knowledge.
