The Preceptor Program Builder provides professional development staff the keys to creating a successful preceptor program in the healthcare environment.
In this essential package, you will find the core tools, best practices, processes, adaptable forms, and training materials for developing and evaluating preceptors, information for preparing preceptors for certification through portfolio-building, and a tested framework for preceptor programs. Use this resource to develop a preceptor program for any population, such as nurses or pharmacists.
The book provides a core design for developing preceptors that can be applied to any program and discipline where preceptors orient or transition new employees, students, or persons transitioning into a new role or position.
This work moves beyond previous editions’ focus on single disciplines and invites all groups, disciplines, and professions to create a framework built on practical tools, definitions, principles, and concepts for training preceptors and building formal preceptorships.
This resource will help you:
- Design preceptor training programs from the ground up
- Revitalize existing preceptor training with new curricula, including fully customizable PowerPoint® training and preceptor workbooks
- Assess the quality of preceptors and evaluate the training effectiveness
- Develop a preceptor certification
Overall Program Builder objectives:
- Recognize the components of a preceptorship and the value added to a healthcare organization
- Prepare preceptors for the roles and responsibilities defined by an effective preceptor program
- Employ critical thinking skills and evidence-based practices within a preceptor program
- Apply effective feedback, competency assessment, and performance evaluation techniques
- Outline effective strategies for successful communication within the professional team
- Implement a preceptor program within a practice setting
- Build a preceptor program that promotes professional development and the eventual transition from preceptor to mentor
