After many years of learning, teaching, and observing students, Dr Lincoln Harris has developed a unique perspective on teaching and a more efficient teaching style. He believes that knowledge without skill is useless. Textbooks, and theory are no help when you have a patient in front of you and your hands do not know what to do. Thats why his hands-on courses include entire 8-hour days of exercises rather than lots of talk. Imagine your peace of mind practicing new techniques on a model, in a risk-free environment with an experienced mentor to critique your work. Compare that with the anxiety of carrying out the first effort in your clinic on a real patient. When you learn a new skill through hands-on exercise you immediately gain thorough understanding of its complexities in a way that watching someone else does not give. Youll know where the difficulties lie. So, when an instructor is with you, that understanding allows you to pick up on the tiny details that make all the difference and would have gone unnoticed without it. Your eyes open to tiny hand movements and instrument handling.
