Workshop

Description: Outpatient clinical care is an essential component of a well-functioning health care system and makes up the bulk of where care is provided. However, outpatient preceptors are hard to recruit and retain. Preceptors most commonly cite “time to teach” as a barrier which is even more notable in pediatrics where the visits are much shorter in duration. Existing workshops focus primarily on teaching effective precepting models such as SNAPPS or the One-Minute preceptor. Less emphasis has been placed on strategies such as orienting the learner or creative scheduling practices. Understanding how to incorporate time management, orientation, with preexisting preceptor models for teaching, feedback, and evaluation can help elevate preceptors’ abilities. This is a train the trainer workshop which will provide participants with a toolkit to recruit, retain, and train preceptors at their own institutions.

Learning Objectives:

Examine the advantages and the barriers to teaching medical students and residents in the office
Implement techniques for scheduling, orienting the learner on the first day, and teaching at the point of care
Evaluate models for giving feedback and evaluation
