About
“See one, do one, teach one”. This time-honored adage once defined medical and surgical training, rooted in an apprenticeship model of teaching. Over the past two decades medical education has evolved from a teacher-oriented paradigm to learner-focused approach that emphasizes safety, feedback, and structured skill development.
This shift has been especially important in obstetrics and gynecology—a high-pressure, high-stakes specialty—where informed and empowered patients expect safe, high-quality care. As clinical responsibilities increase, many educators find it challenging to balance teaching with patient care. In addition, many educators volunteer their time and may have little formal training in clinical instruction. This article outlines practical, efficient methods for clinical teaching and feedback, with the goal of enhancing both the learner experience and patient outcomes.
