Summary
The One Minute Preceptor (OMP) faculty development workshop uses scripted cases and standardized learners to improve teaching skills. This approach enhances participation and satisfaction in role-playing exercises for outpatient preceptors.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Faculty Development
- Ambulatory Care
Background:
- The One Minute Preceptor (OMP) workshop aims to enhance outpatient preceptors' teaching skills in ambulatory settings.
- Learning the OMP's 5 microskills requires role-playing, which participants often avoid due to perceived task complexity and cognitive burden.
Purpose of the Study:
- To reduce task complexity in OMP faculty development workshops.
- To improve participant engagement and satisfaction with the role-playing component of the OMP workshop.
Main Methods:
- Developed highly scripted case scenarios and standardized learners (SLs) to simulate authentic teaching situations.
- Trained SLs and implemented these enhancements in 5 OMP workshops.
- Collected qualitative assessments and participant evaluations.
Main Results:
- Improved participation rates in role-playing exercises.
- Increased participant satisfaction with the authenticity of the training scenarios.
- Qualitative data indicated reduced dissatisfaction with role-playing.
Conclusions:
- Scripted cases and SLs effectively mitigate dissatisfaction with role-playing in OMP workshops.
- These enhancements provide challenging yet authentic clinical teaching scenarios for skills practice.
- Further research with objective measures is recommended to validate these findings.
