Reflection on Clinical Teaching Practice
Title
Reflection on clinical teaching practice
Introduction
I am working as a clinical teacher involved in providing appropriate guidance to the students
in their professional development. I am an undergraduate with excellent teaching experience
which enables me to provide quality education to the students. I have been provided
information on many topics consisting of clinical reasoning, managing patients and clinical
therapies. I have worked very hard to become an effective and efficient clinical teacher. In
the starting of my journey, I was very scared how I will teach students but when I started
confidence started to develop within me. I always focus on providing all the knowledge
associated with the topic to the students and also answering their questions. I have progressed
in my profession by attending teaching sessions on many topics. I have the abilities to hold
the attention of the students in an appropriate manner. I believe it is very much important to
understand and fulfil the needs of the learners. In this assignment, I will depict my experience
as a clinical teacher in three different teaching sessions. I carried out the teaching session in a
clinic for sharing significant information on clinical practice with the students. I have also
learned many things during my whole journey.

A Reflective Log of Clinical Teaching Practice: Presentation of Three Teaching
Events/Opportunities
Clinical reasoning
Overview
I had carried out a teaching session on clinical reasoning. The reason for choosing this topic
was that it is commonly used in the clinical practice area. The event was held on the 20th of
January 2019 in a clinic of a hospital. The learners were nursing staffs, nursing students,
support workers, teaching staffs and healthcare assistants. I had been presenting myself in
front of 300 people from different areas. My aim for organizing the session was to know the

different type of learning and teaching styles and needs that need to be. The aims and
objectives of the session were identified as the importance of clinical reasoning and
demonstrate clinical reasoning skills within the practical field. The learning outcome depicted
that the students were able to understand the clinical reason process in which the situation
and problems of the patient can be understood and planning and implementing interventions
in order to get positive results (Gay, Bartlett & McKinley, 2013).
Planning
I had planned this session about a month ago keeping in mind that this must be beneficial for
all the learners. The most important thing was to find a place; it is found by the researchers
that the learning environment can influence the learners to the teaching and how it is going to
impact on their practical skills. Fortunately, the manager the hospital helped me with a vacant
training room where I could conduct my session peacefully and the learners could also
engage themselves. As soon as I got the place the first thing I did was sent an email to
nursing staffs, nursing students, support workers, teaching staffs and healthcare assistants
with an invitation.
Preparation
PowerPoint is the best tool for any kind of presentation and I had decided to use the same. I
prepared a presentation with a nice background and good font size so that it could be visible
to everyone. I also involved patient in the discussion in order to understand the topic in a
better way. I had also decided to do video presentation as most the learners preferred modern
learning style which is a combination of visual and verbal. The topic which I had chosen was
based on audience level and their future in nursing.
Delivery
I started with my introduction and focused on building a good relationship with them so they
could not feel bored. Sometimes I was getting blank due to nervous feeling and anxiety which
was obvious as I was not habituated of these. Then I asked them if they know something
about the topic and the response was quite impressive. Not only they had knowledge about
the topic but also curious to know more about it. Then I started my presentation with the
introduction of clinical reasoning which also called clinical judgment. It is a process which
