Module 6: Teaching in the Ambulatory Setting
4. Collaborative Role-Modeling
It can be beneficial for learners to watch the preceptor in action (modeling).
We all learn by observing others. The preceptor and student can agree on what
skills will be modeled and observed. With inexperienced students/residents,
observation might be followed by immediate feedback. With more advanced
students, the preceptor can give collective feedback at the close of clinic.
After teacher and learner are comfortable working together, they can switch
back and forth from the provider role to observer role keeping the teaching
session interesting for all involved--including the patient.
The preceptor should be careful not to take over the encounter with the
patient and leave the learner as a passive observer.
It is the middle of the two-month block.
You have been precepting with Dwight for three weeks. How would you plan to do
collaborative role modeling with him?
