Forward4th Friday Preceptor Development - Setting Expectations and Giving Feedback
The 4th Friday Preceptor Development Series will provide regular programming for LMU-DCOM preceptors working with 3rd and 4th year students on clinical rotations. In the preceptor needs assessment administered in Fall 2021, preceptors self identified several knowledge gaps, including difficulty managing time constraints, understanding the baseline knowledge of students on rotation, knowing what to teach in the office, and knowing how to best communicate with and engage students. This monthly series of one hour virtual sessions delivered over the noon hour is part of a new initiative by LMU-DCOM to provide regular preceptor development programming to address ongoing preceptor needs.
Target Audience
LMU-DCOM physician preceptors
Learning Objectives
- Apply One-Minute-Learner/Preceptor concept for setting the stage.
- Discuss differences between short and long-term expectations for students.
- Create a safe and productive atmosphere for students to use feedback as a growth experience.
- Apply the Prepare to ADAPT process for both in-time and comprehensive feedback.
- Use outcomes of immediate feedback to compile long-term feedback.
