Title : Building Collaborative Partnerships between Academia and Hospitals to Enhance Preceptorship Experiences
Author Name : Leslee Shepard, Grace Allen
Synopsis :
Adequate preparation of preceptors is essential to achieving optimal student learning outcomes. While several noteworthy programs are described in the literature, few if any afforded participants ongoing support. This article describes an alliance formed between faculty in a baccalaureate program and clinical nurse educators of an acute care facility. The purpose of the partnership was to facilitate preceptor success using funds received from an internal grant. The preceptor development program was an innovative approach that consisted of three phases: face-to-face, online supplemental education, and on-site clinical support. Each phase was developed based on an applicable theory of learning. Positive feedback was received from participants and faculty. Research on the effectiveness of this three-tiered approach is recommended.
