Measuring outcomes of a one-minute preceptor faculty development workshop.

Area of Science:

• Medical Education Research
• Faculty Development Evaluation
• Healthcare Professional Training

Background:

• Assessing faculty development program effectiveness beyond participant satisfaction is challenging.
• Validated evaluation tools for faculty development are scarce.
• Learner input in assessing faculty improvement post-development is rarely incorporated.

Purpose of the Study:

• Develop a questionnaire for evaluating the enhanced 1-minute preceptor (OMP) faculty development workshop.
• Measure workshop effectiveness using faculty self-assessment and resident assessments.
• Assess an OMP faculty development workshop using the developed questionnaire.

Main Methods:

• Developed and validated a questionnaire assessing the 5 microskills of the OMP program.
• Administered faculty self-assessments and resident assessments pre- and post-intervention.
• Included 68 internal medicine preceptors across diverse training sites.

Main Results:

• Faculty reported behavioral improvements post-intervention.
• Residents did not report significant improvements in faculty teaching behaviors.
• High completion rates for faculty questionnaires (92%) and substantial resident questionnaires.

Conclusions:

• The study rigorously evaluated an OMP faculty development program.
• The intervention did not yield statistically significant changes in teaching behavior.
• This work advances faculty development assessment by including resident evaluations.
