An increasing number of medical students complete clerkships outside of traditional university-affiliated medical centers despite little faculty development geared specifically for the community preceptor. Moreover, the community setting presents a unique set of challenges, including fewer educational resources, greater expectation of clinical productivity, and a wide geographic distribution of preceptors.
This 90-minute workshop provided pediatric community preceptors with effective teaching strategies that could be used in their setting. First, participants identified opportunities and challenges for medical student education in the community setting. Then, participants discussed approaches to strengthen the students' learning experience in small-group breakout sessions. Finally, workshop leaders emphasized specific teaching resources and methods to empower participants.
This workshop was presented at three national pediatric conferences and had at least 57 participants (40 total respondents). Over the three iterations, participants consistently rated this workshop as highly effective and engaging, with the small-group breakout session rated most engaging. Over time, modifications to the workshop included lengthening breakout sessions, shortening didactic materials to enhance audience discussion, and expanding content to include the outpatient setting. In later iterations, participants identified a specific medical education challenge at their institution and committed to using a technique they learned from the workshop.
This workshop targeted inpatient and outpatient pediatric preceptors to address the community-based faculty development gap. After completing the workshop, community preceptors can enhance the medical education experience by optimizing invaluable opportunities in the community setting and applying targeted strategies and resources.
越来越多的医学生在传统大学附属医院以外完成实习，尽管针对社区导师的师资发展很少。此外，社区环境带来了一系列独特的挑战，包括教育资源较少、对临床生产力的期望更高，以及导师分布广泛。
这个 90 分钟的研讨会为儿科社区导师提供了可在其环境中使用的有效教学策略。首先，参与者确定了社区环境中医学学生教育的机会和挑战。然后，参与者在小型分组讨论会上讨论了加强学生学习体验的方法。最后，研讨会的领导者强调了具体的教学资源和方法，以增强参与者的能力。
本研讨会在三次全国儿科会议上进行，至少有 57 名参与者（40 名总受访者）参加。在三个迭代中，参与者一致认为该研讨会非常有效和引人入胜，其中小组分组讨论环节最具吸引力。随着时间的推移，对研讨会进行了修改，包括延长分组讨论时间、缩短教学材料以增强观众讨论，以及扩展内容以纳入门诊环境。在后来的迭代中，参与者确定了他们所在机构的特定医学教育挑战，并承诺使用他们从研讨会中学到的一项技术。
本研讨会针对住院和门诊儿科导师，以解决基于社区的师资发展差距问题。完成研讨会后，社区导师可以通过优化社区环境中的宝贵机会，并应用针对性的策略和资源，来增强医学教育体验。
