Purpose

A clinical instructor is an experienced practitioner who provides supervision during clinical practice and facilitates the application of theory to practice for students and staff learners. They assist the learner by setting expectations, providing effective feedback about their performance, and providing appropriate opportunities to meet their learning objectives.

Des Moines University supports healthcare providers who choose to actively participate in the education of our students by offering excellent clinical training opportunities. Clinical instructors not only transmit skills but are mentors who convey the core values important to Des Moines University: accountability, collaboration, honesty, inclusiveness, and wellness. 

Clinical instructors do what no textbook or classroom can accomplish. As a result, the students benefit from the community-based experience, while preceptors benefit from integrating new ideas and techniques into their practices currently taught in academic health sciences institutions. Join us for a series of educational opportunities which provide precepting pearls to aid in shaping the next generation of clinicians.

Description

This session is aimed at bringing purpose and meaning back to your practice. Are you feeling burned out and dissatisfied with your current practice configuration? Teaching future practitioners may be a great way to escape the daily grind of medical practice. The presenter will explore options for integrating healthcare students into your practice in a way that will improve your efficiency and overall satisfaction.

Key Topics

  • Documentation
  • Students as assets
  • Efficiency
  • Time management
  • Reducing burnout
  • Job satisfaction
  • Effective onboarding

Learning Objectives

  1. Explore using teaching as a strategy to reduce burnout and improve work satisfaction. 
  2. Understand how to be a preceptor without increasing your time commitment. 
  3. Identify learners as an asset to your team rather than a burden.
