Don’t Be THAT Preceptor


Listen Later

Don’t be that preceptor who is just trying to get CEUs or the one who only uses MAT students as grunt labor.

Being a Mentor is a choice.  A choice to give of yourself for the good of others.  So is adoption.  DJ tell me some of your adoption story.

Taylor has been such a fantastic part of our life.  She is a part of my life as an Athletic Trainer and my life as a preceptor and mentor.

Worst preceptor story you have heard?

Worst mistake I made as a preceptor was right out of Grad School.

  • My responsibility is to the team and athletes, not the students.
  • I did not want to invest in the students
  • I did not want to give up control
  • I only allowed them to set up the field
  • It is finally my time to be the Licensed Health Care Provider and make decisions
  • It is about me now
  • Communicate the roles and expectations

    Some other bad examples?

    I am not getting any feedback

    I am doing what they ask but I am not getting any feedback

    How to avoid being average as a preceptor:

    Do not complain about students on social media

    What are some of the struggles for preceptors?

    Accountability

    Set expectations

    • Have an orientation
    • What can the program cover before the kids get to you
    • What do you need to cover
    • Dress code

      Look at this as a semester-long interview process.

      For scheduling purposes

      • We try to keep a really structured process
      • Immersion should be a minimum 40 hours per week
      • 85 hours /2 weeks
      • 1 day off every 7
      • And at least 8 hours between shifts
      • Shout out to my administrators and my co-worker for giving us the opportunity to be preceptors for U of H MAT.

        JP: I felt like my hands were being held the whole time… I was either setting up the field or observing.
