Medical Teacher addresses the needs of teachers and administrators throughout the world involved in training for the health professions. This includes courses at basic and post-basic levels as well as the increasingly important area of continuing education.Medical Teacher provides accounts of new teaching methods, guidance on structuring courses and assessing achievement, and serves as a forum for communication between medical teachers and those involved in general education. In particular, the journal recognises the problems teachers have in keeping up-to-date with the developments in educational methods that lead to more effective teaching and learning at a time when the content of the curriculum – from medical procedures to policy changes in health care provision – is also changing. The journal features reports of innovation and research in medical education, case studies, survey articles, practical guidelines, reviews of current literature and book reviews. All articles are peer reviewed.

The Clinical Teacher is the journal for clinicians who teach and people who are involved in education in a health care setting. It provides easy access to the latest research, practice and thinking in clinical education across the health professions, presented in a readable, stimulating and practical style. There are sections on specific teaching approaches, reports and evaluation of innovative learning activities, a digest of the latest research published in Medical Education and other relevant journals, reports of innovative thinking and advances in clinical teaching from around the world, and expert commentary and discussion on challenging and controversial issues in today’s clinical education. The international editorial team behind The Clinical Teacher is acutely aware of the demands on clinicians’ time. All papers are concise, and focus on the topics that matter. They are reviewed and edited to high standards by a strong technical and clinically orientated international editorial board to ensure that clinical teachers are provided with easily assimilated and up-to-date information. Clinical teachers are renowned for the passion they bring to their work. The Clinical Teacher aims to support that work, and to help share the passion with colleagues internationally.
