Abstract

The complexity of the intensive care unit (ICU) environment provides ample opportunity for teaching learners. The challenge lies in tailoring different teaching methods to an audience with a varying knowledge base. This chapter aims to address teaching learners throughout their ICU experience. The reader will discover how to set the stage with an orientation, to find teaching moments at and away from the bedside, and to give individual as well as team feedback.
