Abstract
A review of the literature on clinical teaching indicates that medical schools emphasize didactic teaching of facts. Interpersonal skills, problem solving skills and cultivation of attitudes are neglected. However, the literature also described the skills of 'good' clinical teachers, and enumerates them. Programmes attempting to develop students' interpersonal skills and problem solving skills are reported. Finally, areas for further practice and study in clinical teaching are recommended.Keywords
