Embracing Indigenous Knowledge in Science and Medical Teaching
The focus of the book is on different ways of knowing: the western scientific way (reductionist, dualistic and materialist) versus the indigenous approach (holistic, non-dualistic, and spiritual). It discusses both science and medicine in the context of the challenges experienced in introducing science and medicine into Africa through imperialism, colonization, and globalization. It looks at selected indigenous African paradigms, the dominant western paradigms, and the practitioners that represent these practices.

The volume investigates whether, and how a person can accommodate different epistemologies, and the nature of such accommodations.

Collaborative Clinical Education
This book is intended for those who are now, and those who intend to become, clinical teachers in the health professions. Its primary focus is the teaching of medical students and residents, but the principles discussed apply equally to teaching students in other health professions. The main focus is on the process of teaching--the strategies and tactics involved in helping others learn--and the authors discuss the generic steps, strategies, and principles of effective teaching that apply in any clinical setting.

Task Oriented Processes in Care Model in Ambulatory Care
TOPIC (Task-Oriented Processes in Care) is a breakthrough framework of learning and teaching in ambulatory care. The TOPIC model offers guidelines for optimizing a chronic illness visit, a check-up/preventive visit, a new problem visit, a psychosocial visit, or a visit where a behavior change is recommended. The TOPIC guidelines work with any presenting problem and direct the practitioner to apply both the most current medical knowledge, and the most useful skills and approach to each visit. This book offers instructors innovative and practical ways to teach medical students and residents how to implement the TOPIC model. The accompanying CD-ROM contains essential teaching handouts, Power Point slide sets, templates, scripts, evaluation forms, video clips, and more.

Intuition and Metacognition in Medical Education
From Mark Quirk, recipient of the 2006 Society of Teachers of Family Medicine's Excellence in Education award, comes the latest on improving medical education. In this volume, Quirk explores metacognition, the idea that we can think about the way we or other people think, and thus gain a better understanding of ourselves, our own cognitive processes, and the patients we seek to help. Written for medical educators--from medical school faculty to residents--this book will help you teach your students and interns how to extrapolate lessons from experience and integrate learning and practice. It will help them to think more clearly and thoroughly about what they read, hear, and learn on a day-to-day basis and thus become more informed and humanistic doctors.
