Abstract
Over the last 50 years, medical education has seen an increase in time devoted to didactic teaching and a significant decline in the amount of time devoted to laboratory teaching and learning. The reasons for this are multifaceted, and the end result is not only unfortunate but ignores sound educational and learning theory. We hope that the fact that you are reading this chapter indicates your interest in reversing this trend and that you will find the information helpful as you incorporate laboratory exercises into your teaching repertoire.
