Background:
Post-pandemic staffing challenges require innovative approaches to rapidly train novice preceptors.
Method:
The One-Minute Preceptor (OMP) model incorporates five microskills that facilitate the clinical teaching of orientees by preceptors. This study employed a pretest-posttest survey design to evaluate preceptor skills, self-evaluation, confidence levels, and the orientee's assessment of the preceptor before and after an educational intervention.
Results:
The paired t test results from the orientee's survey indicated a statistically significant improvement in the preceptor's microskills following the intervention.
Conclusion:
The OMP model may be an effective tool for training novice preceptors, yet more robust study designs are necessary to further validate this model.

Steps in the Modeling Process
Attention is the first necessary component for observational learning. It involves focusing on what the model is doing and saying. For example, if you decide to take a drawing class to enhance your skills, you need to pay close attention to the instructor's words and hand movements. The characteristics of the model significantly...
