Physicians are life-long learners, continually renewing our banks of knowledge and adding new components. Practice-based reflection helps us become better preceptors by learning from our experiences and determining how to improve.
The goal is to role model continuous self-assessment and life-long learning. Specific competencies within this domain include:
- Model the appropriate use of evidence-based medicine in clinical practice
- Seek feedback from the learner and rotation director; identify and act on improvement goals
- Engage in continuous learning as physician and teacher with targeted teaching goals
- Clinical Faculty Promotion Procedure
- Annual Clinical Faculty feedback letters: preceptors who hold clinical faculty appointments and who teach at least 3 separate students in an academic year will receive annual feedback about the students experience and the preceptors performance evaluation. These letters are sent via email in late summer.
PNWU is pleased to partner with the American Board of Family Medicine as a sponsoring institution offering Performance Improvement (PI) continuing certification credit (previously MOC Part IV) to ABFM diplomats who provide personal instruction, training, and supervision to a medical student or resident and who participate in teaching improvement activity.
