Schools for Medical Instructors

A medical teacher instructs students in the medical field, especially physician and nursing skills. These are advanced degrees and are generally for students who already have a medical background. You may also take electives in medical teaching if you are currently pursuing a medical degree. These courses teach you how to effectively instruct students and how to come up with your lesson plans. Individual coursework, however, varies by school.
