Abstract
Teaching at the bed side is defined as teaching in the presence of the patients. It is applicable only to the hospital setting.
Sir William (1849-1920) a renowned clinician and teacher said that there should be no teaching without patients.
Whitman (1990:23) said “My method (is to) lead my students by hand to the practice of medicine, taking them every day to see patients in the public Hospital, that they may hear the patient’s symptoms and see their physical finding & then I question the students as to what they have noted in their patients and about their thought and perceptions regarding the causes of illness and the principles of treatment” Bed side teaching in the hospital setting also provides opportunities to expose the students to a sea of knowledge and skill that cannot be taught in lecture hall.
