| Description | Clinical instructors play a critical role in health professions education. In many healthcare programs, approximately half of the college credits are earned in the clinical environment. Though instruction in the clinical setting accounts for a significant portion of the curriculum, education programs often rely on healthcare practitioners with little or no teaching experience to serve as clinical instructors. Assigning appropriate individuals to these roles can be challenging. Generally speaking, practitioners who are competent in their technical skills, excellent communicators, and able to establish connections with others make good candidates. This chapter examines the concept of teacher identity and outlines the benefits of appointing individuals with a strong sense of teacher identity to clinical instructor positions. Making the transition from practitioner to practitioner-educator can be difficult for some individuals and will undoubtedly require a shift in priorities. This chapter as well as the ones that follow are intended to provide the resources that will help you gain the confidence and the teaching strategies necessary to make this transition more smoothly.
