Summary
This study identified key activities and skills for interprofessional health science preceptors (IHSPs). A new self-assessment tool was developed to guide preceptor training and enhance learner experiences.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Interprofessional Healthcare Training
- Clinical Preceptorship
Background:
- Effective preceptors are crucial for developing competent health science professionals.
- Standardized training and assessment tools are needed to optimize preceptor performance.
- Interprofessional health science preceptors (IHSPs) require specific pedagogical skills.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and value the pedagogical activities and skills of IHSPs.
- To support the development of a preceptor self-assessment tool.
- To assist in preceptor training and enhance learner outcomes.
Main Methods:
- An online survey was administered to health sciences professionals interacting with nursing.
- Survey items were based on Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) core competencies and literature review.
- A modified Delphi technique refined survey items, reflecting IPEC competencies (roles, ethics, communication, teamwork).
Main Results:
- 260 survey respondents identified 41% of activities as high priority and frequently performed.
- Identified activities were categorized into a six-category IHSP self-assessment and reflection tool.
- The tool includes domains such as preparing learners, promoting critical thinking, coaching, fostering independence, and role modeling.
Conclusions:
- Core competencies for IHSPs have been identified, leading to a new self-assessment tool.
- This tool can aid nursing and health sciences programs in developing preceptor orientation and training.
- The tool aims to optimize learner experiences and standardize clinical practice competency development.

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

Metacognition is a conscious process where individuals are aware of their cognitive and executive processes, such as planning before solving a problem or self-monitoring during reading. For instance, a writer may need help with composing a piece. The situation involves a writer who is working on a piece of writing, but while doing so, they realize that something is missing. They notice that their characters lack depth or details. This realization occurs because the writer is reflecting on their...

Self-concept is the cognitive and emotional understanding individuals hold about their identity. It evolves through various developmental stages, beginning in infancy and maturing as children grow. This concept influences how individuals perceive their abilities, interact with others, and manage challenges throughout life.
Infancy and Emerging Recognition
During infancy, self-concept is virtually nonexistent. Babies do not distinguish themselves as separate entities and often mistake their...

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
