Abstract
- Background: At times, preceptors struggle with aspects of resident education. Many are looking for more support and faculty development in this area. Aims: To address preceptors' needs for resources and provide a proactive framework for their teaching, the Academic Support Process (ASP) website was developed and evaluated. Preceptors' ( N == 35) experiences using the ASP website, as well as their perceptions of its usefulness in supporting resident education, were identified. Methods: The research comprised two phases: a self-directed workshop involving the creation of a web-based learning plan for a standardised scenario of a resident in difficulty followed by 3 months use of the ASP website with residents in their practice. Information on their experiences was solicited via surveys and focus group interviews. Results: Findings revealed the ASP website enabled preceptors to find words for their concerns around resident competency, gave them a proactive teaching framework, expanded their arsenal of teaching strategies, and supported a customised approach for all learners along the performance spectrum. However, there were a number of challenges encountered by the preceptors that affected site use and buy in. Conclusions: Results are promising. Next steps involve developing a clear strategy for adoption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
