Teaching palliative care is perhaps a little more difficult that other medical specialties because of the multidisciplinary nature of the topic as well as the learners. This excellent
little book provides just about all you need to know about planning, preparing, the different techniques of teaching, and evaluating palliative care teaching. It is full of helpful hints and
there are numerous useful checklists. Even experienced teachers will benefit from having this book available when next planning a lecture or a course. I will.
