"This is a significant step forward in the science of academic teaching and evaluation of professional and clinical thinking and problem solving. The chapters are well written and easy to understand, with intuitive examples, mnemonics, and images to emphasize teaching points. The references are well researched and highly relevant. This is an extremely high-value addition to every clinical educator's library." (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)

"This is an easy to read and well-structured handbook which makes good use of tables and diagrams. ... It does what it says in the introduction looking at the basics of clinical teaching, common teaching contexts and then various teaching scenarios. ... I would recommend this to all health-care professionals who teach medical students and trainees." (Helen Goodyear, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, Vol. 77 (12), December, 2016)
