摘要：The present article reports upon the analytic progress of a video ethnographic study of bedside teaching encounters (BTEs). Of particular interest is the exploration of how doctor-patient interactions are fundamentally transformed by the presence of medical students. Analysis of a large corpus of video recordings has explored how the concepts of patient-centredness and trust are displayed and learned during real-time BTEs through interaction. A short exemplar from the video corpus is provided to illustrate how these concepts can be ‘found’ in actual medical encounters; for example, by providing spaces for patient questions during consultations.
