Summary
Preceptors recommended enhancing training programs by allocating more time for discussion and role-playing activities. They also requested additional feedback on their own performance to improve their precepting skills.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Education
- Professional Development
Background:
- Continuing education programs require effective preceptor training.
- Preceptor performance directly impacts trainee learning outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate preceptor feedback on a continuing education program.
- To identify areas for improvement in preceptor training and support.
Main Methods:
- Program approval for contact hours was obtained.
- Preceptors received certificates upon program completion.
- Preceptors completed program evaluation surveys.
Main Results:
- Preceptors suggested increased time for discussion and role-playing exercises.
- Preceptors indicated a need for more feedback on their own precepting performance.
Conclusions:
- Program evaluations highlight the need for enhanced experiential learning components.
- Future program development should incorporate more structured feedback mechanisms for preceptors.
