Bedside Teaching: The Meeting-to-Meeting Model

Abstract

The Meeting-to-Meeting Model is designed to provide a medical educator with an easy-to-use guide to conduct efficient bedside teaching sessions in inpatient settings. Here, we summarize some of the strategies described in the literature, which we have modified in order to make the model more practical. The model comprises five main steps: Meeting I, corridor I, patient encounter, corridor II, and meeting II. We also briefly describe adult learning theory in relation to BST. Further research is needed to assess the generalizability of the model and to evaluate its effect on educational outcomes.
