Clinical Tools: A DIY catalogue for the creative

Instead of encouraging the purchasing of new technologies for medical training, this textbook, in the form of a catalogue, focuses on sharing examples of creative tools that already exist. This issue also offers a practical guide for how to make these tools, encouraging using local resources. Ever considered where your learning tools come from as you study or teach medicine? So many teaching materials in medicine are mass-produced, environmentally unfriendly, and reproduce the same kind of bodies. We need a drastic rethinking of our teaching tools. But rather than new inventions, what if the innovations we need are already out there? Our first issue of Clinical Tools: A DIY Catalogue for the Creative celebrates the abundance of ideas for teaching materials that already exist in medical education. Inside you will find gorgeous illustrations, clear instructions for how to make tools and insightful essays exploring the ideas behind DIY in medical education. Get your making supplies ready!
