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 Medicine and Health Sciences supports healthcare providers who actively participate in our students' education by offering excellent clinical training opportunities. Clinical instructors transmit skills and serve as mentors who convey the core values important to Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences: 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. 

Description

Many students have past traumas that continue to impact them in various ways. As important as it is to validate and honor the feelings associated with these traumatic experiences, it is also necessary for students to still be able to learn and effectively demonstrate skills in a clinical setting. Preceptors can have a tremendous impact on students by creating a learning environment that feels safe for those students who might struggle due to past trauma. The goal of this webinar is to help preceptors identify some possible signs of trauma and provide a safe and effective learning environment for those students who are still carrying this trauma with them.  

Learning Objectives

  1. Validate student’s past trauma experiences. 
  2. Learn strategies to help support students who might be triggered by past trauma and provide a safe and effective learning environment.
