Target Audience

Healthcare providers who teach medical students in the clinical setting.

Purpose

Des Moines University supports healthcare providers who choose to actively participate in the education of our students by offering excellent clinical training opportunities. Preceptors transmit skills and are mentors who convey the core values important to Des Moines University: accountability, collaboration, honesty, inclusiveness, and wellness. Preceptors do what no textbook or classroom can accomplish. 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. 

Objectives

• Describe current trends/strategies for teaching in the hospital/in-patient setting.
• Describe teaching and logistical strategies to enhance bedside teaching rounds.
• Describe how knowledge of teacher and learner “personality type” can be used to enhance the effectiveness of bedside teaching rounds.
• Describe how specific teaching strategies (e.g., 5 Microskills, Wait-time, RIME framework) can enhance instruction and learning in the hospital setting.
