meaningful evaluation why is it
01:40
important for the learner the goal is
01:42
for students to understand the clinical
01:44
practice of medicine by working with a
01:47
preceptor and patients for example
01:50
clinical illness demonstrated in
01:53
practice reinforces classroom and book
01:55
learning of organ systems
01:58
in addition students will see the direct
02:01
impact of social behavioral and system
02:03
based issues on clinical illnesses the
02:08
students expectations are as follows

patients care second practice collecting
02:18
basic data and interpreting that data
02:21
third establish confidence and
02:24
independence qualities of a great
02:27
preceptor most often preceptors are
02:31
healthcare providers who are teachers
02:33
with or without full-time academic
02:36
appointments they are individuals who
02:39
desire to solve problems and enjoy
02:42
engaging in the learning process great
02:46
preceptors should be able to effectively
02:48
communicate assess the learners
02:51
abilities have adequate practical skills
02:54
and have the ability to motivate
02:57
learners let’s go into each of these in
03:00
depth communication precept Earth’s must
03:05
be able to demonstrate broad knowledge
03:07
and adequately explain the basis for
03:10
actions and decisions they need to
03:14
capture the learners attention and keep
03:16
them interested preceptors should be
03:19
able to connect information together in
03:21
order to develop broader concepts
03:25
answering learners questions is not
03:27
always an easy task but it may be done
03:30
clearly and precisely
03:33
assessment of the learners abilities the
03:37
learners knowledge attitude and skills
03:40
need to be assessed this is accomplished
03:43
with direct observation and with the use
03:45
of feedback sessions evaluation should
03:49
be performed routinely and in a fair and
03:51
thoughtful manner practical skills
03:56
preceptors should be role models
03:58
demonstrating how to properly conduct a
04:01
patient evaluation they should be
04:04
interested in the subject matter and be
04:07
able to balance clinical and teaching
04:09
responsibilities
04:11
learners need to feel some independence
04:14
thus preceptors should be comfortable
04:16
giving graduated responsibilities
04:20
motivating learners learning should be
04:24
fun thus it’s important to engage
04:26
students as much as possible preceptors
04:30
should promote active involvement in the
04:32
care of patients they should also
04:34
develop a supportive relationship with
04:37
the learner remember learning does not
04:40
always have to occur in a formal and
04:43
lengthy session sometimes a lesson
04:46
five-minute teaching moment can help
04:48
learners focus on the patient and his or
04:51
her problem long discussions on abstract
04:54
topics can be left to the classroom
04:58
benefits of the preceptor learner
05:00
relationship perhaps one of the greatest
05:04
benefits to preceptor learner
05:06
relationship occurs while the student
05:08
observes preceptors managing individual
05:11
medical problems this positively affects
05:15
the students own communication and
05:17
clinical skills eventually they will
05:21
appreciate a level of Independence in
05:23
delivering care and practicing on their
05:25
own there are benefits to the preceptor
05:29
as well although these are not often as
05:31
concrete preceptors continually state
05:35
that precepting brings back the joy of
05:37
clinical practice and many of them feel
05:41
as though they are giving back to the
05:43
profession preceptors feel less isolated
05:46
and enjoy the reward of sharing their
05:48
knowledge and benefit from reviewing the
05:50
basics health care providers may be
05:54
concerned regarding how a learner may
05:56
affect quality of care and patient
05:58
satisfaction in a study of HMO practices
06:03
ninety percent of physicians reported
06:06
that quality of care and satisfaction
06:08
were not affected many patients say they
06:12
enjoy the extra attention from learners
06:14
even when the learner repeats part of
