description Medical schools often rely on clinicians to provide guest lectures in foundational science courses. These guest lecturers may teach only once or sporadically in the undergraduate curriculum, which brings about several challenges that can impact their effectiveness. This guide, drawn from evidence-based teaching principles, medical student feedback, the authors’ training in educational and cognitive psychology, and experience as a clinical teacher, is designed to support clinical guest lecturers in meeting the educational standards and expectations for teaching in the preclinical setting as well as give insight into the needs of foundational science course directors and students.
