Teaching Made Easy: a Manual for Health Professionals by Mohanna, Wal and Chambers - Book Report/Review Example

This book will benefit professionals teaching at all levels including nurses and training development managers working for primary and secondary care. It provides for necessary teaching tools for developing and organizing teaching sessions in the related subject. Students who are working towards becoming health teachers through professional courses will get numerous ideas and advice. References at the end of chapters for the health-related staff are impressive. A good deal of practical tips and suggestions are found for everyone whether involved at the personal, individual, or organizational level.

Hospital/practice information given in the appendix will certainly come as a required aid to the healthcare teachers.Weaknesses: The book takes it for granted that experienced healthcare professional makes good teachers without any formal training. In fact, this view has its own fallacy. There are not enough resources for those who want to develop effective classroom training. There is not enough material for less privileged students who want to harness skills related to teaching. It gives examples related to doctors and nurses but omits other clinical staff.

 In short, the book serves the purpose of professional teachers and educators in general.
