broad opportunities to learn. Thanks to my husband Matt for his unfailing support of all my projects and dreams, and for being my rock along the way.

      To our co‐editor, Sarah, a special thanks for being such a wonderful collaborator and friend over the years. We feel very fortunate to have met you and have really enjoyed working with you ever since.

      To Grace and Kate, thank you above all else. You are the light of our lives. Words can't express the love we have for you or our admiration for the people you are. Your patience with our many work hours, projects, and life changes are so appreciated. We love you with all our hearts. Chase your dreams with all your being – we are here for you!

Matt

      For my incredible wife, Emma, for having the vision and passion to create this book despite everything else going on around us. I learn something new from you every single day. But enough with the summative assessments already!

      For our two daughters, Grace and Kate. I am looking forward to again using evenings and weekends for the things you want to do! You are simply amazing and I am so thankful to be your dad.

      And to my parents and friends who have supported and helped me through thick and thin. Life can be hard, but you make it easier.

Sarah

      Thanks to Emma for inviting me to join this project, it is one of many we have collaborated on over the years. It has been a pleasure as always. Thanks to my husband John who is so supportive in so many ways in all my endeavors at work and at home. And finally this book, and my ongoing enthusiasm for “all things” clinical skills, wouldn't be such fun without all the help from my colleagues in the clinical skills lab team at Bristol.

      Preface

      Our original vision for this book was to try to collate the content of many years of conversations that we have had with colleagues and students about Clinical Skills teaching and learning into a single, useful resource. Many of those discussions centered around what is known about how to teach and learn better – in essence, where to spend one's precious time, effort, and resources in order to see the best returns. To this end, we wanted to create a book that would appeal to both instructors and students and provide a broad overview of what is already known about teaching and learning Clinical Skills for those starting out so they had a good base from which to take the leap.

      We have been fortunate to help institute modern clinical skills training programs into our own institutions at a time when they were just beginning to be implemented across veterinary medicine. In the early days, we learned by trial and error by adapting “hard knocks” lessons we had learned in private practice to our academic learning environments. As programs evolved, so did the research that proves that there is value in learning how to use best teaching practices to inform Clinical Skills instruction. However, even though so much has been published, clinical skills instructors are a generous group and much of the sharing of information still tends to be open source or available by simply asking a colleague. Websites, conferences, and Zoom calls all serve as a means for sharing what we have learned, making sure that someone else does not have to reinvent the wheel.

      The basis for this book is that, despite all of the sharing of ideas and best practices that has
