MedEd Deep Dive

In this episode, Zaynab and Yassin dive into a research paper that explores the often-overlooked world of clinical teaching during hospital ward rounds. The study, conducted at a private hospital in Dubai, uses a time and motion analysis to measure how much and what type of teaching actually happens during ward rounds for undergraduate medical students. The findings reveal that while about 25% of ward round time was spent on teaching, most of it was passive and low in cognitive demand, sparking a conversation on the need for more active and high-quality teaching strategies. Join us as we discuss how this research could lead to improvements in medical education and student learning outcomes in clinical settings.
