Preceptor Development Program (PDP) - University of Virginia Health System The PDP is organized into a series of discrete learning modules that are designed as stand-alone activities. You can complete as many modules as you like during a computer session, however, you cannot stop in the middle of a module so it is key that you set aside the appropriate amount of time per session.

7 modules: Taking a student into your office; Teaching and Learning Styles; Interacting with your Medical Student; Providing Feedback; The One-Minute Preceptor; Teaching the Clinical Competencies; Evaluating your Student. http://www.med-ed.virginia.edu/courses/fm/precept/

NEW! The Clinician-Educator’s Handbook 20 chapter book addresses a wide variety of issues of clinical education. Designed so that most chapters can be read free-standing and can be used as a reference when looking for specific information. The authors have divided general teaching techniques (such as establishing goals and objectives, setting curriculum, and asking questions) into their own chapters, distinct from setting-specific chapters.
