There are many different ways in which teaching will be delivered, and many different methods and opportunities available to you for learning.  The main areas of teaching are:-

• Lectures
• Tutorials
• Seminars
• Patient centred teaching
• Reading
• Personal Reflection

Learning takes place in the teaching environment but also elsewhere.  As an adult learner you are expected to identify and recognise areas where you are weak and take steps to get on top of the situation.  You are expected to take some of the responsibility to work out how to manage the gaps in your knowledge and skills by yourself.  This may take the form of looking at text books or on-line resources, talking through the problems with your immediate friends and colleagues or asking your clinical seniors for some advice.  We all know that some people are more helpful than others when asked for assistance.  You should be able however to find someone who can direct and support you.  Your Programme Director and Educational Supervisor are key people to approach in these circumstances.
