Characteristics of effective preceptors
Self-Assessment
This is a "self-help" tool that can help
you identify areas in which you can improve, in terms of your role as a
preceptor for the dietetic intern. First, read and rate yourself on each
of the characteristics that are listed. (Place an "X" in one of the
four rating boxes.) Then, for each characteristic that you rated as
"sometimes" or "never", develop a plan or goal that will help you
practice in that area. After you have had some time to work on the areas
identified as needing improvement, refer back to this tool to reassess
your progress.
Characteristic Domains:
- Focus and Organization
- Value of Interactions with Student
- Enthusiasm and Dynamic Styles
- Relationship with Student
- Analytical Approaches
- Confidence and Competency
- Professionalism
