Abstract:
We have adapted "academic detailing" as a method to deliver real-time faculty development to nearly all community preceptors, both rural and urban, using the RAFT technique (Rapport-building, Assessment, Focused preceptor development, Thanks/Trinkets). The method is expensive in terms of faculty time and can be difficult to schedule. However, it has proven to be a valuable, learner-centered method that reaches preceptors missed by traditional faculty development workshops. Preceptors experience support, both student and preceptor problems are identified and addressed early, and academic faculty gain a better understanding of the preceptor environment.
