Effectiveness of an Online Preceptor Development Program Across Health Professions.
Medical Science Educator 2024 Februrary
INTRODUCTION: An online Preceptor Development Program (PDP) was developed to meet the needs of geographically dispersed preceptors across health professions. We aimed to measure the audience, their engagement, and effectiveness of an online PDP developed and implemented amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
METHODS: The mixed methods study included survey and attendance data for live and asynchronous formats. T -tests compared overall session perception to self-reported session impact. Objective alignment and self-reported measures of impact were analyzed around Kirkpatrick's levels of reaction, learning, and behavior.
RESULTS: Participants engaged in live and/or asynchronous PDP sessions from various professions, specialties, and geographical locations. Quantitative findings indicated significant associations between overall session perception and knowledge (session 2), competence (sessions 1, 2), and performance (session 1). Objectives were met, and key learning takeaways were reported. While most participants indicated no barriers to implementation, two barriers identified were a lack of time and uninterested students.
CONCLUSION: Participants were afforded flexibility and choice and likely benefitted in the areas of knowledge, competence, and behavior. This online PDP effectively addressed preceptor needs in common areas, including feedback. Future program development may include advisory group input and interactive learning opportunities.
