Education Essentials - Overcoming Barriers to Clinical Teaching

Welcome! In this module—Overcoming Barriers to Clinical Teaching—you will gain understanding of the barriers to clinical teaching and develop skills in navigating those barriers.  Some examples may not align with your specific professional learning climate, though all can be adapted to your and your learners’ contexts

Intended Audience

The Essentials in Education Module Series is intended for interprofessional health science faculty and staff who are interested in growing their skills and knowledge in the domains of teaching and learning.  Some examples may not align with your specific professional learning climate, though all can be adapted to your and your learners’ contexts.

Learning Objectives for this Overcoming Barriers to Clinical Teaching module

As a result of participation in this educational activity participants will:

  1. Discuss barriers to clinical teaching within busy clinical settings
  2. Outline strategies to navigate clinical teaching challenges to effectively teach in busy clinical settings, including:
    • WHEN to find time? 
    • WHO are our learners?
    • WHAT should we teach? 
    • HOW do we teach effectively in a busy clinical setting?
    • WHY is this so hard sometimes?
  3. Apply the One-Minute Preceptor model and its five microskills (getting a commitment, probing for supporting evidence, teaching general rules, reinforcing what was done well, and correcting mistakes) during clinical teaching to provide efficient and targeted feedback. 
  4. Describe WHY you or your learner may not be feeling motivated in teaching and learning and how to accordingly adjust clinical teaching.
  5. Create a plan for when you will try out 1-2 new strategies in your clinical teaching.
