Teaching Medical Teachers How to Teach in Lagos, Nigeria

Abstract

Medical School teachers are usually not formally trained in the art of teaching. In order to improve on the quality of teaching in the College of Medicine of the University of Lagos, Workshops on Educational Methods have been organised annually for faculty members. Evaluation of the workshop over the 6 years of its existence has been favourable, and a follow-up study done in 1980 indicated that faculty members actually modified their teaching and assessment methods.
