Module 6: Teaching in the Ambulatory Setting
2. One-Minute Observations
This method requires that the preceptor and the learner have several sessions
scheduled together. The preceptor observes different one-minute intervals of
various student-patient interactions. The preceptor explains the purpose of
the observations and enters and leaves the exam room without interrupting the
student and the patient. Immediate feedback is given after the patient
encounter. The cumulative effect of numerous observations exposes the
student to more directed timely feedback with the opportunity of recurrent
practice, observation and feedback.
Don't forget to let the patient give some feedback.
It is the middle of the two-month block.
You have been precepting with Kimberly for four weeks. How would you plan to
do one-minute observations?
