Remediation Case Studies: Helping Struggling Medical Learners

by Jeannette Guerrasio

A companion volume to Remediation of the Struggling Medical Learner, 2nd Ed., this book provides detailed examples of medical faculty helping students and residents to overcome obstacles. Based on Dr. Guerrasio's highly regarded framework for diagnosing difficulties and improving learning, Remediation Case Studies presents 24 real-life cases. Contributors were asked to describe the students and residents who needed remediation and the strategies they used to help these learners. Dr. Guerrasio requested that instructors share what worked/what didn't work and, in hindsight, what might have worked better. By adding her own insightful comments about each case, Dr. Guerrasio has created a valuable resource for both new and experienced remediators.

It was a fabulous book of case studies related to remediation activities for health professionals at all stages of career, students, interns, residents, even practicing professionals. While the majority of cases were for physicians there were also other health professions included. I provides a framework for diagnosing and then working with the learners to improve their abilities. And in some cases, slide them out of the profession. If you are involved in teaching health professionals, it is well worth a read.
