Building a Culture of Continuous Improvement with Your Ambulatory Resident Preceptors

Course Overview

The session will review three components of an ambulatory faculty development model for resident preceptors. We will begin by highlighting content important for new preceptor onboarding, focusing on preceptor challenges unique to the clinic setting. We will then review content to help support advanced and effective precepting skills for faculty at all levels. These materials include teaching strategies for the high-performing resident, being an upstander for your trainees, and suggestions for innovative ambulatory skills workshops. Finally, we will discuss our peer observation of teaching faculty program, including the logistical structure of faculty-to-faculty precepting observation, opportunities and challenges, and faculty preceptor experience. We will give a brief overview of resources used for these sessions, and this content can subsequently be shared with other clinic preceptors.

Learning Objectives

Identify potential topics to allow current preceptors to improve their resident teaching and feedback
Describe the benefits of a peer observation of teaching faculty program and a variety of options to implement it successfully at your program.
