Day in the Life: Precepting in Home Healthcare
Presented by Tonya Miller and Kelly York
Home healthcare preceptors play a critical role in shaping the next generation of healthcare providers, but their responsibilities often come with unique challenges. Balancing patient care with mentees’ needs can be overwhelming, especially in unpredictable home environments where patients present with diverse medical, functional, and psychosocial complexities. Preceptors must navigate teaching complex skills and strategies in a highly variable environment.
This course addresses these challenges by equipping preceptors with the tools and strategies they need to succeed. Through interactive learning, participants will explore evidence-based approaches to mentorship strategies such as teaching and learning strategies, time management, conflict resolution, providing effective feedback, and communication in challenging environments. By focusing on real-world scenarios, the course ensures participants can immediately apply these skills to improve patient outcomes and the mentee learning experience. This program empowers preceptors to thrive in their dual roles, fostering a supportive and effective learning environment in home healthcare.
Learning Objectives
- Distinguish precepting principles for effective preceptor–mentee engagement
- Analyze scenarios in home healthcare that balance clinical care and learning opportunities
- Construct a personalized preceptor development plan that incorporates real-world tools for teaching and learning in the home healthcare environment
