Excellent clinical teaching is a skill that can be studied, refined, and continuously improved, just as any other procedure. Teaching in the ICU comes with unique challenges given the medical complexity of the patients, the time pressure, the diverse levels and professions of learners, and the challenges of communication at the end of life. Trainees, clinician-educators, and junior faculty can particularly benefit from learning how to optimize teaching in the ICU because being a good ICU clinician does not automatically translate to being able to transmit the knowledge and skills effectively.
