Each chapter concludes with reflection questions to help make connections with one’s own unique environment and situation. Features include: • A general background on effective clinical teaching • Relevant educational theory • Specific ideas and strategies for teaching in different clinical settings and situations • Evaluation and feedback • Content on how to approach challenges in clinical teaching • Information for conducting initial and continuing Approved Clinical Instructor (ACI) training The Athletic Trainer’s Pocket Guide to Clinical Teaching has answered the call to provide a book that offers information specific to the athletic training clinical instructor.
