Overview
New - Live Virtual Learning Opportunity & Precepting and Telehealth Medicine Content
This workshop focuses on competence and skills that nurse practitioners and physician assistants need when serving as preceptors. These include time management, critical thinking, providing evaluation and feedback, nurse practitioner/physician assistant program information, learner styles, motivating, and working with a challenging preceptee.
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. Many 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 nurse practitioners and physician assistants to attain the necessary skills 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.
