Abstract:
This chapter introduces the theory and practice of work-based learning, demonstrating how natural it can be to learn in the midst of practice when dedicated to the task at hand. It also provides some guidelines to help faculty orchestrate the learning process in this vein, with a particular emphasis on the value of reflective practice.
