Summary

This chapter introduces the role of The Teacher within medical education and considers how this has changed in recent years. There is reflection on what it means ‘to teach’, as well as the importance of attitudes and role-modelling. The Hidden Curriculum is considered, with discussion of why it is important and how it can be influenced by the medical educator. This chapter also acknowledges the peculiarities of teaching psychiatry, and how this can be a rich vehicle for teaching values and attitudes – directly through the content, and indirectly through the hidden curriculum.
