The Socratic method is used extensively in medical training to the point that I think most doctors wouldn't think of it as the Socratic method but rather just as the way you speak to students and trainees.

I can't imagine how it could work in a lecture hall, it's best used one on one or at most small groups.

Absolutely. Small group is a must. I think the variations with seminars (always around 20 because universities want to maximize their profits) and lecture halls are terrible.

I see it working with 10ish people at the absolute max.
