Preceptor Training

The Department of Respiratory Therapy is now offering preceptor training workshops for respiratory therapists from our partner sites in clinical education. It is our hope that these workshops will support the respiratory therapy community in its commitment to educating future respiratory therapists. The following workshops are provided free of charge:

Level 1: Orientation to Fieldwork Education in the BMR(RT) Program (1 hr):

This workshop will help to familiarize preceptors with the BMR(RT) program goals, objectives, and delivery format. Participants will be oriented to the clinical education process in Respiratory Therapy including clinical course objectives, evaluation tools and techniques, scheduling and the role of the University’s RT Clinical Fieldwork Coordinator.

Level 2: Evaluation and Feedback in Fieldwork Education (4 hrs):

This section will review core concepts of adult education as it applies to the role of an educator within the clinical setting. More specifically, we will review the principles of evaluation and feedback in fieldwork education. Prerequisite: Level 1 preceptorship training workshop.

Note: This workshop encompasses the material presented in both “Orientation to Fieldwork Education in the BMR(RT) Program” and “Evaluation and Feedback in Fieldwork Education” workshops.

Registration information for future workshops will be posted on this page as it becomes available.
