The workshop as a learning system in medical teacher education

Workshops have been less frequently used than conferences to stimulate an interest in medical education and to help medical teachers increase their potential in this country. Conferences on higher education have been organized by the Society for Research into Higher Education and in London by the University Teaching Methods Research Unit of the Department of Higher Education. These conferences cover most of the University disciplines and are not concerned specifically with medical teaching: as a consequence the number of participants is large and the organization of both the presented material and the group activities so as to keep everyone interested is made more difficult. As far as we are aware this workshop, our experience of which is presented in this paper, was the first to be organized specifically for medical teaching within the London medical schools. This is a report of its method and of its effectiveness based on the results of a survey after 9 months.
