Microteaching Video

This is Bandana's microteaching video on Followership, presented at the March Journal Club. Feedback was positive, but focussed on making sure you apply the microteaching to the clinical situation.

Watch it on Vimeo here: https://vimeo.com/158325504. The video quality is really low (sorry) and shaky - but I'm sure Bandana will do a 1-1 if you'd like her too.
