Technology provides a platform to help address individualized training needs for community preceptors who are separated from the campus and pressured to achieve clinical productivity goals. This study explores technology use and support for delivering faculty development to community preceptors.
This cross-sectional study was part of the 2017 Council of Academic Family Medicine's (CAFM) Educational Research Alliance (CERA) annual survey of family medicine clerkship directors in the United States and Canada.
The majority of respondents (n=62, 68.9%) agreed or strongly agreed that "using technology is critical to the successful delivery of faculty development to community preceptors." Only one-third (n=31) agreed or strongly agreed that their institution offers them adequate support to create and deliver technology-mediated faculty development or offers adequate support to community preceptors for accessing and using technology.
Clerkship directors need institutional support to provide effective faculty development to preceptors via technology. The opportunity exists for institutions, national organizations, and professions to collaborate across disciplines and health professions on technology-based faculty development to support a level of quality and engagement for faculty development that is consistent with the levels we bring to student education.
技术提供了一个平台，有助于满足社区带教教师的个性化培训需求，这些教师与校园分离，并面临着实现临床生产力目标的压力。本研究探讨了利用技术以及为社区带教教师提供师资发展支持的情况。
这项横断面研究是2017年美国家庭医学学术委员会（CAFM）教育研究联盟（CERA）对美国和加拿大家庭医学实习主任进行年度调查的一部分。
大多数受访者（n = 62，68.9%）同意或强烈同意“利用技术对于成功地为社区带教教师提供师资发展至关重要”。只有三分之一（n = 31）的人同意或强烈同意他们的机构为他们创建和提供技术介导的师资发展提供了充分支持，或者为社区带教教师获取和使用技术提供了充分支持。
实习主任需要机构支持，以便通过技术为带教教师提供有效的师资发展。机构、国家组织和专业领域有机会跨学科和跨卫生专业合作开展基于技术的师资发展，以支持达到与我们给予学生教育相同水平的师资发展质量和参与度。
