Abstract
The authors explain why they use self-directed learning to educate medical educators and why they think self-directed learning should be encouraged in other spheres of medical education. They argue that self-directed learning (SDL): suits the needs of a heterogeous learning group; helps learners prepare for continuing professional education; is important fm teachers of others to experience; can be applied within existing educational structures; assists learners to overcome the effects of personal, educational, social or political oppression to some extent; and enables progressive educators to give greater expression to their philosophies.
