Implication

Literature review reveals a marked drop in bedside teaching in undergraduate medical education, suggesting this reduction impairs junior doctors' clinical skills.

Key Points

  • To review the historical role, educational strengths, reasons for decline, and ongoing necessity of bedside clinical teaching in modern medical training.
  • Reviewed published literature assessing trends, strengths, and causes for the decline of bedside clinical teaching.
  • Bedside teaching has dropped from representing approximately 75% of clinical teaching 50 years ago to an estimated 8–19% currently.
  • Reduced bedside exposure during undergraduate medical training contributes qualitatively to declining practical clinical examination skills observed in junior doctors.
