Teaching is gratifying when you are passionate about the profession, patient, and know why you’re doing it, and rewarding when your student absorbs the information. It should make you happy because you’re impacting someone’s life. In life learning and teaching are cyclical and are applicable to every profession. 

My nephrologist is one of the best teachers I know; you can feel his passion for teaching. I’ve been his patient for over 15 years. He asks my permission with every visit to have students accompany him. I never mind it because they are learning from a great teacher. I had a visit this week and I’m usually his last patient. He said, “Buddy would you mind if I brought some students in with me?” My answer is always yes. A parade of students came in, a medical student, a nurse practitioner, a physician’s assistant, and a nephrology fellow. They listened to my heart, lungs, and felt my transplanted kidney. They were briefed about my medical history. I miss working with the camaraderie of working bedside nursing. There’s so much learning that occurs with a multidisciplinary team approach.

“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow. ” Anthony J. D’Angelo
