摘要：Background There is a unique particularity of clinical teaching in medical education that is beyond knowledge, skills or teaching methods of each clinician: this is clinical teaching context. This study aimed to analyze the main barriers in clinical teaching in a single medical school in Spain. Methods This was a descriptive study in which all the clinical teachers (all of them associate professors) of a single and novel faculty of medicine were asked to answer an online, anonymous and voluntary questionnaire about aspects of support to clinical work, promotion of clinical research and recognition of their professional careers. The questionnaires were organized and analyzed into these three main issues. Results 61 clinical teachers (42%) answered the questionnaire. The main findings that emerged were: (i) lack of protected time for practical teaching at hospital; (ii) lack of support for clinical research from hospital or faculty; and (iii) lack of recognition of their professional careers. Conclusions The clinical teaching in medical education is a continuing challenge for busy clinicians. Further studies on this topic are needed.
