Purpose
Empower your teaching in real-world clinical settings! This five-part series was designed in collaboration with experienced preceptors to address the areas they identified as most critical for success. Each 45-minute session offers practical strategies, interactive activities, and quick-reference tools focused on efficient teaching, learner evaluation, feedback delivery, and sustainability. Join us to strengthen your skills, streamline your workflow, and make every teaching moment count!

This session equips clinical preceptors with practical strategies for giving medical learners constructive, growth-oriented feedback. Participants will explore adaptable frameworks such as Ask–Tell–Ask, Pendleton, SBIRT, Plus/Delta, and the One Minute Preceptor to deliver timely and specific feedback, even in busy clinical environments. The session also offers concrete tools for navigating difficult conversations and turning everyday clinical encounters into powerful coaching moments.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the characteristics of effective, growth-promoting feedback in clinical education.
- Discuss at least two structured feedback frameworks (e.g., Pendleton, SBIRT, Plus/Delta, One Minute Preceptor) in real clinical teaching scenarios.
- Identify strategies for delivering difficult feedback, focusing on behaviors, and promoting shared planning for improvement.
