Participants of past sessions have expressed that this new style of providing feedback has also furthered their competency as a Team Leader.</p><p>The Learning Objectives for this session include: 1. To complete a self-inventory to explore professional weaknesses, strengths, and “frames” as a clinical preceptor 2. To define feedback, and describe the steps of the Advocacy- Inquiry method of providing feedback – how you can use it as a preceptor to maximize student performance (Rudolph et al., 2007) 3. To demonstrate the ability to address issues employing Advocacy- Inquiry feedback techniques in some TR-specific scenarios</p><p>Friday, March 13th, 2015, 8:30 – 4:00 pm Douglas College, David Lam Campus (1250 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam, BC V3B 7X3, Room A2050)</p><p>Registration information: Registration form on the BCTRA website.
