Abstract
Bloom's cognitive learning taxonomy is widely used in medical education. The revised taxonomy published by Kathwohl and colleagues describes the levels in action forms to support learner thinking: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyse, Evaluate and Create. The taxonomy has been commonly used to design and structure educational goals and objectives. However, most uses occur at the course or rotation curriculum level, whereas applying the taxonomy at the level of individual educational activities remained limited. This article addresses this limitation by applying the taxonomy in daily clinical teaching in Primary Care Behavioural Health education by providing practical clinical teaching examples and encourages its use in such real-life primary care learning contexts. Particularly, this article will provide clinical educators with a roadmap on teaching in primary care that takes into account the complexity of the patient and presenting concerns.
