Community-based training, the keystone of the WWAMI Program, is becoming the standard for medical student and resident education nationwide. A new book, Teaching in Your Office: A Guide to Instructing Medical Students and Residents (American College of Physicians, Philadelphia, 2001, 145 pp), shows community physicians how to become more effective clinical teachers.

Two of the authors are UW physicians and educators: Dawn DeWitt and Linda Pinsky, both assistant professors of medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine.
