Join Carolyn Montoya, PhD, RN, FAANP, FAAN, Associate Dean and Professor at The University of New Mexico College of Nursing discussing preventing burnout for clinicians/preceptors.
Many faculty at the CON precept students in their own practices. Here are shared best practices and tips for creating an optimal learning environment. We welcome your pearls from your own personal precepting experiences. Please send them to HSC-CON-Placements@salud.unm.edu.
"Ask the student their goals for the day. What specific patient types would help them meet their goals? What specific area(s) are they working on right now? Then at the end of the day review which goals they were able to achieve, how they met their goals, and which goals remain. The goals that remain are a good place to start for the next clinical day. That way both the student and preceptor have a clear understanding of what the student would like to accomplish on a day-to-day basis. This also puts the responsibility for their learning on the student, helps them to identify their strengths and areas for improvement, and provides a "list" of goals that gets updated daily."

Time management is one of the greatest challenges for me when precepting. In order to avoid running behind, I assign the student to every other or every third patient. I also have the student stop seeing patients around 3:30 p.m. or 4:00 p.m. so he/she can finish paperwork and we can leave on time.
