- Title
Pimping Socrates.
- Authors
van Schaik, Katherine D.
- Abstract
The author discusses some medical residents' reluctance to pose very difficult questions to interns or students due to concerns of being accused of "pimping." Topics addressed include how the aim of pimping seems to be Socratic instruction, increasing the retention of teaching points by being provocative, and scholars' disagreement on whether the Greek philosopher Socrates had a method for interrogating and arguing. Also mentioned are clinician and teaching skills.
