Drawing on his dual roles as a pediatrician and medical educationalist, the author uses story-telling and personal experience alongside practical tips and tricks to support the reader in their teaching, patient care and educational scholarship, helping both junior faculty and more senior educators to avoid pitfalls in all segments of their careers.
