Topics will include:  Impact of the Teacher: Looking Inward  Categories of learner difficulties  Common pitfalls in working with challenging learners  Strategies for identifying problem  Strategy for a fix: Collaborative model  Impact of personality type Learning Objectives Workshop participants should be able to:  Describe how the clinical teacher’s reaction to a student might actually make a challenging teaching situation worse.  List three broad categories in which the challenging student difficulties might fall.  List common pitfalls the teaching might fall into when teaching a learner in difficulty.  Describe a strategy for helping the learner in difficulty that parallels the patient care process.  Describe how knowledge of personality type can be useful in analyzing a challenging teaching situation.
