Use AI to draft a structured prep guide before teaching a medical student or resident during clinic.
Teaching moments in primary care often happen on the fly, but preparing a focused teaching outline beforehand helps you cover the most important learning points efficiently without adding time to your already packed schedule. This prompt creates a clear teaching framework tailored to the specific clinical scenario and learner level, so you walk into the patient encounter knowing exactly what to highlight and which teaching points to emphasize. Use this before any clinic session where you'll have a learner shadowing, especially when you have a patient with a condition that's perfect for teaching but you haven't had time to organize your thoughts.

“Act as a senior primary care physician and medical educator. I'm precepting a [medical student/intern/family medicine resident] tomorrow during my clinic session, and I have a patient scheduled who is a great teaching case. Help me create a focused 5-minute teaching outline I can review before the visit. The patient is a [age] year old with [condition or chief complaint, e.g., 'newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes' or 'uncontrolled hypertension despite two medications' or 'persistent fatigue workup']. The learner is at the [beginning/middle/end] of their [medical school/residency] training. Please provide: (1) Three key teaching points I should emphasize during or right after the visit, (2) One or two high-yield clinical pearls specific to this case, (3) A good open-ended question I can ask the learner to assess their understanding, and (4) One evidence-based resource or guideline I can mention if they want to read more. Keep it practical and concise so I can review it quickly between patients.”
