Abstract
Owing to increasing external pressures on both faculty and learners, the practice
of bedside teaching is declining. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview
of educational strategies to foster bedside teaching in the current clinical practice
environment for surgical educators. General strategies include building a culture
within the program that promotes the atmosphere of a learning community, and providing
scaffolding for trainees that fosters gradual progression to autonomous practice.
Specific techniques for bedside teaching include CAMEO, the “one-minute preceptor”,
and mini-presentations or peer-teaching. The intentional and proactive implementation
of these strategies alongside others can assist educators in capturing the “redeemable
moments” that occur in the course of routine clinical care at the patient’s bedside.
