ABC of Learning and Teaching in Medicine

The ABC of Learning and Teaching was published in early 2003. It represented a unique international collaboration between expert authors in many different countries. It provided for clinician teachers (non academic clinical teachers who provide training for undergraduate and graduate students as part of their every day work). The articles were published initially in the BMJ and the book publication followed. The journal articles proved immensely popular and are used in Faculty Development Programmes all around the world. The fact that the articles were so readily available on line meant that book sales were not enormously high (approximately 10,000 books sold worldwide).
There remains a lack of brief, readily accessible and up to date medical education articles that are of direct use to clinician teachers. Yet their teaching roles are becoming more demanding and there is an increasing expectation that clinician teachers will gradually professionalize what they do. Much has changed in the themes and subjects covered by the original ABC in the past four years. The current edition is effectively out of date particularly in the areas of course design, collaborative learning, small group teaching, feedback, assessment and the creation of learning materials.
We believe that, with the promotion potential of a large publishing house, a new edition could sell at least as many copies again particularly if web access was provided on a pay for view basis.
