NEW - Live Virtual Learning Opportunity
Precepting and Telehealth Medicine Content

Becoming an effective preceptor requires specific preparation and support. This workshop focuses on competence and skills that clinical preceptors need when serving as preceptors to advance practice nurses, physician assistants and other clinical graduate students.

Course content includes time management, critical thinking, providing evaluation and feedback, nurse practitioner/physician assistant program information, learner styles, motivating and working with a challenging preceptee, and precepting with telehealth.

Statement of Need and Purpose

Advance practice provider (APP) training programs rely on high quality graduate clinical preceptors to provide real-world clinical experiences and socialize students to the role of the APP. Nurse practitioner and physician assistant training programs often do not include preceptor development. Most graduate clinical preceptors have never received formal preceptor training and feel deficient in their ability to set goals, create an adequate learning environment, provide feedback, and evaluate student performance in a busy clinic setting. 

The purpose of this interprofessional workshop is for clinical preceptors to develop the skills necessary to become effective and successful preceptors.

Intended Audience

This workshop is designed to meet the needs of nurse practitioners and physician assistants and other health care providers who precept graduate students in their clinical practice.

Elements of Competence

This CE activity is designed to change learner competence and performance, focusing on the American Board of Medical Specialties’ areas of practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, and professionalism, Institute of Medicine area of working in interdisciplinary teams, and the Interprofessional and Nursing areas of roles/responsibilities, interprofessional communication, and teams/teamwork.

Learning Objectives

Following this workshop, learners will be able to:

  • Name two techniques for evaluating critical thinking in graduate clinical learners
  • Demonstrate providing timely, specific feedback to a graduate clinical learner
  • Describe a plan for addressing challenging student encounters
  • Distinguish between nurse practitioner and physician assistant student competency prior to clinical rotations
  • Identify precepting strategies to use when delivering healthcare through telemedicine

Successful Completion

Learners will participate in interactive simulations and cased-based and small-group discussions that focus on real world experiences. Pre- and post-activity scenario-based tests and evaluations are required.
