Many medical care decisions are made in outpatient settings, yet physician training continues to be conducted in inpatient settings. Emphasizing the benefits of ambulatory teaching for both medical students and office-based physicians, this work offers advice on starting and carrying out medical education in outpatient settings. It describes basic elements of learning theory and the student-teacher relationship, and provides tips on preparing students to interact with patients. Since most physicians have no formal training as teachers, methods for evaluating the teacher are included. Durso teaches medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

From the parking lot to the exam room, doctors can improve the physical surroundings for their patients, yet often they do not. Given the numerous and varied duties doctors must perform, it may fall to the design profession to implement changes, many based on research, to improve healthcare experiences. From location and layout to furnishings and positive distractions, this book provides evidence-based information about the physical environment to help doctors and those who design medical workspaces improve the experience of health care. Along with its research base, a special aspect of this book is the integration of relevant historical material about the office practice of physicians at the beginning of the twentieth century. Many of their design solutions are viable today. In addition to improving the physical design of healthcare facilities, author Ann Sloan Devlin is the granddaughter, daughter, and niece of physicians, as well as the granddaughter and daughter of nurses. She worked in a hospital during college, and has visited a good many practitioners’ offices in medical office buildings and ambulatory care settings. This book addresses an overlooked location of care: the doctor’s office suite.
