Welcome to Strategies in Clinical Teaching, a Resource for Community Based Faculty
Thank you for serving the University of Kansas School of Medicine by providing valuable community clinical experiences for our students and other learners.
Preceptor Development Workshop Series
Educational webinars for physicians becoming preceptors for KUMC medical students and obtaining Volunteer Faculty Appointments.
This live virtual course is designed for community preceptors who teach KU School of Medicine students in their local practices. It is intended to prepare preceptors to effectively teach and assess learners as well as communicate and collaborate with the medical school.
CME Credit: Credit Statement-4 AMA PRA Category 1 credits (1 credit per session)
Preceptors are highly encouraged to participate in all four sessions via Zoom. If you do not have the Zoom app, you will need to download it at no charge. Pre-work for each session is essential for effective participation in the live session and for CME credit. Partial CME credit will be available if participation in a specific live session is not possible. Live sessions will be recorded for review later, but CME credit will not be available.
The workshop series (four sessions) will be offered twice each calendar year. Each 45-minute session will be offered twice per date at 7:15 a.m. AND 12:15 p.m. to accommodate practice schedules. The first workhop series in 2021 will be held on February 11th, March 11th, April 8th, and May 13th. The second workshop series will be scheudled later in the year.

Background
This site provides mini-modules on common teaching strategies, each designed to provide practical information on teaching in the community setting. Because the focus is on "community faculty," we will use this term and "preceptor" or "supervisor" interchangeably throughout the site. We will also use "medical student", "student", and "learner" interchangeably though the resources apply to a variety of clinical settings, clinical instructors, and learners. The education of our students depends on your expertise and enthusiasm for teaching. There is no single "best way" to teach medical students; the best clinical teachers use a variety of techniques. Students are adult learners so your role is more similar to coaching than traditional classroom teaching. Most teaching skills are similar or identical to skills required for patient care so you are already a skilled clinical teacher. And, as a "coach," you can draw on both positive and negative experiences in your own education.
- Orienting Students: Getting off to a good start prevents most problems!
- One Minute Preceptor: An established approach to clinical teaching that is both efficient and effective.
- Active Observation: How to apply your keen patient observation skills to students
- Assessing Students: The basics of formative assessment (feedback throughout the rotation) and summative assessment (end-of-rotation) and how to make them easier for you and more beneficial for your students.
- Bedside Teaching: Link to resources to make the most of this time-honored method of clinical instruction
- Giving Short Talks on the Run: Ideas to offer just-in-time mini-lectures of 5 minutes or less.
- Preceptor Pearls: Brief reference materials on a wide range of topics including primers on evidence-based medicine, motivational interviewing and other communication skills.
- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Community-Based Teaching: Some of the most common questions about teaching are addressed on the site in our FAQ but please let us know how we can help make teaching as effective, efficient, and enjoyable as possible for you.
