  • Preceptor Program | Guiding the learning of others (core module)

    Price: $149.00
    The aim of this module is to provoke thought, discussion and debate about how best to perform the role of preceptor in the paramedic environment. In this module, we'll introduce preceptorship and compare it to mentoring, tutoring and coaching. We'll explore adult learning principles – essential knowledge for any preceptor – and discuss how we might teach more effectively. We'll dive into the concept of emotional intelligence and its role in preceptorship, before concluding with a practical framework for giving effective and impactful feedback. 100% online and self-paced.
