One-Minute Preceptor

Health care educators who teach health professions students in the clinical setting face an increasing challenge of efficiently and effectively providing teaching to these learners while also providing excellent care. No matter what type of learner - medical student, physicians assistant, pharmacy intern, veterinary student, or nurse practitioner - and no matter what their level of skill or training, the challenge of integrating teaching into your day to day routine remains.

This interactive workshop will introduce preceptors to a tested and valuable approach for efficient and effective education of students in the clinical setting.  This method, known as the One-Minute Preceptor, is simple to learn and translate to use.
