Bedside teaching (BST) is declining, but framing it as an entrustable professional activity (EPA) can improve its quality. This approach supports faculty development and teacher certification for effective clinical education.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Clinical Pedagogy

Background:

  • Bedside teaching (BST), a cornerstone of clinical education, has seen a significant decline.
  • Many clinician teachers lack specific training or confidence in delivering effective BST.
  • Revitalizing BST requires innovative approaches to teacher preparation and educational structuring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To redefine Bedside Teaching (BST).
  • To describe essential features and effective practices for high-quality BST.
  • To explore framing BST as an entrustable professional activity (EPA) for teachers.

Main Methods:

  • Focus group discussions with clinical teachers.
  • Open-ended questionnaires distributed via email.
  • Supplemented by a comprehensive literature review.

Main Results:

  • A refined definition of BST was generated.
  • Key strategies for optimizing BST were identified, including preparation, fostering a safe learning environment, flexible teaching, and prioritizing patient benefits.
  • A structured EPA description for BST was developed.

Conclusions:

  • Effective BST necessitates skilled, confident clinician teachers.
  • Framing BST as a teaching EPA can enhance its application and quality.
  • This EPA framework can guide faculty development and clinical teacher certification.
