How to Maximize Bedside Teaching in Our Busy World
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Summary Bedside teaching is becoming less frequent. A lack of attending physicians’ time and perceived teaching skill, as well as concerns regarding the impact of bedside teaching on the relationship with patients have been cited as barriers to bedside teaching. The purpose of this paper is to offer some tips on how to increase the frequency and quality of bedside teaching in light of these barriers. The main recommendations are to 1) be explicit about the competencies around which you are teaching; 2) incorporate bedside teaching into your daily workflow, allowing the available cases and patients to dictate the learning competencies; and 3) use a framework that incorporates published teaching tools to guide your bedside teaching. The first step of this framework is preparation, which involves choosing the most appropriate teaching competency (history-taking, physical exam, clinical reasoning, or decision-making) based on the learner, case, and patient. Next is delivery, including orienting learners and patients to the task, choosing the instructional modality that fits the competency (such as One Minute Preceptor, SNAPPS, or Mini-CEX), and then debriefing and providing feedback. The final step is reflection on the teaching session, which can include peer observation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
