Learning to Learn: The Teaching Legacy of Eugene A. Stead, Jr., M.D.

The "Learning to Learn" book is a comprehensive guide to the teaching legacy of one of America's most gifted medical educators, Eugene Stead.

This book traces the philosophy of education that has touched future doctors, nurses, and physician assistants at Duke University and across the nation through leaders he trained.

The heart of Stead's legacy is a handful of essential principles that are as relevant today as they were 50 years ago, including the importance of people, patients, responsibility, community, teachers learning by teaching, and the unique needs of each learner-mentor relationship.

This book provides a detailed overview of these principles through seven papers presented and discussed by Stead's colleagues and pupils at a symposium held in 2008.

Whether you are a medical professional looking to improve your teaching skills or simply someone interested in the art of education, "Learning to Learn" is an invaluable resource that will inspire and guide you on your journey.
