Teaching Task:
Using direct and indirect teaching, modeling good patient care and
skilled inquiry, the preceptor teaches toward insightful clinical
problem solving. The preceptor solicits the student's/resident's
skills of observation, information gathering and organization,
hypothesis generation, and his/her abilities to analyze and
synthesize information to arrive at conclusions incorporating
valid and current medical information.
This lofty goal must take into consideration the strengths,
weaknesses, learning style and personality of each student/resident.
It has been said that to teach is to learn twice. Being a skilled
preceptor will make you a better physician.
