Abstract
Creative teaching involves imaginative approaches that make learning more interesting, exciting, and effective. Creative teachers share a number of characteristics. Although they are content experts, they are also highly motivated, have high expectations, and have strong communication skills. Creative teachers also use techniques to stimulate curiosity and raise confidence. This chapter highlights strategies to help stimulate the academic physician’s creative teaching process.
