Best Aspects

Preceptor quotes

Networking session

“I thought the networking activity was the most beneficial part of the program in terms of being able to apply the information to specific scenarios but also to gain insights and experiences from other preceptors”.

“The hour and a half of connecting with other preceptors in the program was great.”

“Interactive networking”

“Intersessional active networking”

“Networking session was great”.

“The video link with Gillian was great to summarise the program and content”.

“Talking with other preceptors on how they would handle situations”.

Format

“Best taken at own pace and information provided can ensure depth of learning”.

“It was good that the program was self-paced”.

“Depth of information”

“I enjoyed the format of the training - the combination of readings and videos was good”.

Content

“I found all of the modules to be of help, strategies given for feedback and the 1-minute preceptor concept helps to leverage the short time instances we have with students in amongst the business of the day where larger chunks of time may not be available - It’s a change of perspective that can help empower preceptor and learner.”

“How to deal with unmotivated students and problematic behaviour”.

“Liked positive talk training”.

Benefits

“Formalised my experience into a learning platform”.

“…. and improvements to my scope and practice were highlighted.”

“The training program is suitable for both experienced and less experienced preceptors”.
