What are Preceptors?
Preceptors are providers who serve as:
◦ Role models
◦ Educators
◦ Facilitators
◦ Evaluators
Preparation: Staff to Preceptor
• Preceptor training curriculums exist
• Curriculum helps to define role of preceptor as clinical instructor.
• Curriculum provides clarity on how to assist students with transition from classroom to to clinical environment.
• Goal: Develop preceptors who can translate knowledge, clinical proficiency, and professionalism to students.
Preceptor Concept
• Promotes success of students in clinical environment.
• Supports pipeline of students for recruitment as staff.
• Increases job satisfaction and promotes retention.
• Provides robust experience for student trainee.
Goal of Preceptor Curriculum Models
• Adaptable guidelines and structure for preceptor and student experience
• Training and resources for preceptor to effectively transition students from classroom to clinical environment.
• Ensures quality patient services, respect of organizational standards, and continuity of patient care in a cost-effective manner.
• Provides benchmarks and tools for preceptor to assess and develop knowledge, clinical proficiency, and professionalism and translate that to student.
Dedicated Education Sites (DES)
• Dedicated education site is emerging model of nursing education in Community Health Centers adapted from a hospital setting.
• Students partner with clinical staff for learning.
• Dedicated education site preceptor teaches and assesses clinical skills of student to ensure robust support system.
• Preceptor orientation designed to address skills critical for success.
• Challenges: development of face-to-face DES preceptor orientation and ongoing support through clinical semester.
Building a Culture of EducationOrganizational principles for success:
1. Student training is mission of health center.
2. Preceptor critical to mission.
3. Health center has defined student training infrastructure.
4. Preceptor curriculum core component program.
5. Collaborative partnership between health center and educational institution.
Building a Culture of Education
Organizational challenges:
• Time constraints, efficiency, effectiveness, oversite and communication
• Resources to build and execute training
• Shared responsibility and clear expectations between educational institution and health center
• Effectively incentivize preceptor
• Making the case for cost/benefit
Informal Process to Successful Program
CHC approached academic partner:
1. How can we provide students a better training experience?
2. How can we better support our preceptors?
3. How can we develop a more collaborative relationship?
Ultimately... How can we improve our student training program?
Informal Process to Successful Program
Informal Process:
• Preceptors agree to take students.
• Academic institution assigns students to preceptors.
• Informal, fragmented and resource intensive.
• Communication limited to the preceptor and student.
• Record keeping limited.
• Little support for preceptors and students.
• Lack of clarity of expectations and requirements.
Informal Process to Successful ProgramSuccessful Program:
• CHC developed clinical coordinator position.
• Student training requests directed to clinical coordinator.
• Educational institution applied for grants to support development of curriculum model for preceptors.
• Faculty content experts from school of nursing developed orientation program to prepare preceptors to meet unique needs of DES students
•Adjunct status given to preceptors through academic institution
