The attributes that I possess to make me a good clinical teacher would be mastery of the content that I would like to teach (ophthalmology), good communication skills, and ability to adopt (and listen) to varying perspectives while teaching and listening. I need to work on my patience and mood when I think the conversation or discourse is not moving in any clear direction. Overall, I think I will be a good clinical teacher.
Thank you Kiko for mentioning patience and mood- I believe we all struggle with that as teachers ( with good intentions of course). I'm not sure, but i think over time we are able to temper patience and mood as we age or mature as teachers.

I think your key word is "work" on the teacher qualities you want to achieve. Takes a lot of effort indeed and not an easy task...

Agree on finding it a challenge to keep being patient if students have dissenting opinions. It does take an effort to be continuously patient and I envy those who have a seemingly endless supply of patience and empathy :)

Years back, when I went out of PGH and started teaching in other institutions, this was also my problem. I was very impatient, demanding, would easily get pissed with residents who don’t seem to give the right answers to my questions. I talked to my senior consultant in PGH about this. Told her that I really don’t feel good when I get mad or impatient with my residents in the province. She then advised me to lower first my standards, then gradually teach them more complicated things. Do everything little by little. One step at a time. Kaya ayun, medyo nabawasan naman.

I think that it also comes naturally when you have a strong pedagogical knowledge. You become more aware of the student and their needs before your own.
