I employ a variety of teaching strategies to promote active learning and enhance students’ clinical competence. 

1) Real patient encounter

In clinical teaching, I emphasise experiential learning through direct patient encounters, case discussions and supervised practice of clinical skills. These methods allow students to integrate theoretical knowledge with real-life clinical scenarios, thereby strengthening their clinical reasoning and decision-making abilities.

2) Interactive teaching approaches in learning theoretical knowledge

I incorporate interactive teaching approaches such as case-based discussions, small-group tutorials and problem-solving activities. These strategies encourage students to actively participate in the learning process, share perspectives and engage in critical thinking. By facilitating collaborative learning environments, students are able to deepen their understanding of clinical concepts while developing teamwork and communication skills.

3) Use of technology-enhanced learning tools

Recognising the learning characteristics of the current generation of students, I also integrate technology-enhanced learning tools in my teaching practice. Interactive online quizzes and digital platforms are utilised during teaching sessions to promote engagement and provide immediate formative feedback. These approaches support blended learning environments where face-to-face teaching is complemented by digital learning resources.

To further support students’ acquisition of clinical competencies, I collaborated with colleagues in the department to develop an educational resource in the form of an e-book entitled “Practical Skills in Primary Care.” This e-book serves as a practical guide for medical students to learn essential office-based procedures and clinical skills commonly performed in primary care settings. The development of this resource aims to enhance students’ preparedness and confidence during clinical postings.
