description Abstract Background Clinical teaching is an essential part of medical education and clinical teacher must acquire the necessary competencies to perform such a role. In this regard, there is emphasis on emotional intelligence as an essential competency. The aim of this study was to develop a model for clinical teaching with emotional intelligence based on the experiences of clinical teachers. Methods A workshop on teaching with emotional intelligence was designed and conducted three times. One month after, a sample of workshop participants (N = 18) was selected through purposive sampling and their experiences of clinical teaching with emotional intelligence were described using focus groups (n = 3) and deductive content analysis. Results A model consisting of four themes: preparation and start communication before round, sustained communication during rounds, promotion after the round, and managing social interactions throughout the presence in the ward were presented for describing clinical teachers’ experiences. Conclusion In this study, a model for using emotional intelligence in clinical setting was extracted. This model can be used in faculty development programs. A suggestion for future research is to examine the effect of using the model on learning outcomes and patient care.
