1 PRECEPTOR SUMMARY INFORMATION Thank you for agreeing to be a preceptor for a USF nurse practitioner student during a clinical rotation. This information is designed to introduce the goals of a clinical rotation and to assist you in deciding how to interact with our students. The students are expected adhere to the schedule agreed upon between the two of you, present a professional appearance, take an interest in your patients, and to actively participate in clinical learning and patient care. Purpose of the Clinical Practicum: The clinical rotation facilitates the student s growth into a primary care provider role. The majority of nurse practitioner students nursing practice occurs in a hospital setting or ambulatory care environment. Traditionally baccalaureate-prepared nurses are not educated in a primary care environment, but many choose to continue their education in a graduate program to be educated as a nurse practitioner in one of several concentration areas, including pediatrics, family, or adult/gero care. The practicum experience helps the student apply classroom knowledge in a real-world setting. The practicum should include the target populations and focus on wellness, health promotion and disease prevention, early identification of health problems, and management of stable chronic illness. Students should be able complete an appropriate history and physical, describe a reasonable differential, discuss and evaluation and management plan and present the preceding to the preceptor. A student just beginning practicum will be at an early stage in the process compared with a student completing their final practicum. Design of the Clinical Practicum: The practicum is 16 weeks in length (Fall and Spring semester), and 12 weeks in length (Summer semester) incorporating 180 hours of clinical hours with Primary Care Physicians and Nurse Practitioners. We want our students to be exposed to a variety of patients and problems in the clinical setting, enabling them to experience the issues relating to a number of populations. We don t expect them to become experts in management of all problems and needs; we do expect them to improve their comfort levels in caring for patients, and learn about the resources available to improve patient care. Expectations of Preceptors: Considering the above information, we appreciate the preceptor welcoming our students to their practice, providing them a brief overview of the practice philosophy and rules, and introducing them to the staff. It is reasonable to have the student shadow you for a few patients, so they can learn your style. The student may then be sent in to see a patient, to gather a history and perform a physical, then present the patient to you. It is expected that you will revisit the patient with the student and confirm or guide their findings, differential, and plan. If the student is not allowed to document in your records, they will be expected to complete a certain amount of de-identified documentation for their academic progression. First Practicum Students 1. Days 1-2 Observational experience of provider and patient interaction (may vary based on student s prior experience and your comfort with precepting and your comfort with the student) - Preceptor style and patient interaction - Discussion of the differential diagnosis, and evaluating and management rationale - Discussion of methods to obtain labs, diagnostic imaging, referrals and consults - Observation of practice culture and documentation methods 2. Days 2-4 Preceptor should observe the student perform a patient history and physical exam - The student should discuss the findings, offer a tentative differential diagnosis and propose an evaluation and management plan at a novice level - Preceptor refines plan and offers rationale to the student - Preceptor recommends further practice-related further study by student (ongoing) - If office policy permits, student documents findings in patient chart to preceptor s satisfaction 3. Subsequent clinical time - Student independently and unobserved performs history and physical exam - Student reports findings to preceptor, offers proposed differential diagnosis and plan - Preceptor and student finalize visit with patient including any repeat examination and additional history deemed appropriate by the preceptor - Preceptor recommends further practice-related further study by student (ongoing)

2 Second Practicum Students - Day 1 :Observation of preceptor style, practice culture and documentation methods - Arrives with a semester of clinical experience, including completion of many history and physicals, initial efforts at developing differential diagnoses, and development of treatment plans - Should demonstrate synthesis of didactic learning with initial clinical experience. - Is likely to ask an increasing number of clinically appropriate and insightful questions. - Having the student research certain questions and provide you with a one minute summary may provide an excellent learning tool for the student in this and later practicums. - Preceptor recommends practice-related further study by student Third/Final Practicum Students - Day 1 :Observation of preceptor style, practice culture and documentation methods - Has completed at least two semesters of clinical experience at varied sites - Should be able to obtain an appropriate history with minimal reminders, perform a relatively smooth exam, identify a broad differential, and develop an evaluation and treatment plan - Identify health promotion and disease prevention strategies appropriate to the patient. - While concluding the final practicum the nurse practitioner student will be eager to see patients independently, present the patient to you, and collaborate with you to complete the plan of care. Patients will still need a brief revisit from you to confirm findings, discuss the plan, and add your own perspective to the visit. - At the end of the clinical day, time allowing, it may be beneficial to review any of the challenging patients and discuss issues related to those types of patients or concerns. - Preceptor recommends practice-related further study by student Evaluation Process Clinical Faculty Role - At least once during the semester, generally by mid-term, a clinical faculty member will visit your practice when the student is in attendance - The clinical faculty will o meet privately with the preceptor to discuss the student s progress o observe the student with a patient (after obtaining the patient s permission) o evaluate the student from a faculty perspective - Any concerns will be addressed jointly with the preceptor and the student o Remediation needs will be documented and contracted with the preceptor and the student o Any follow up visits will be planned with the preceptor and the student by the clinical faculty Preceptor Role - Preceptors are asked to complete a midterm and final evaluation each semester on a tool provided by USF College of Nursing - Any U or unsuccessful score means the student fails the clinical and the course o We ask that if you have any concerns that the clinical faculty be contacted immediately, not waiting for the planned evaluation time Student Role - Provide name and contact information for clinical faculty early each semester - Inform preceptor and office staff promptly of clinical faculty s visit date - Provide evaluation tools to the preceptor for midterm and final evaluation - Notify clinical faculty and course director of any problems immediately and upon request - Complete an evaluation of their experience - All evaluations are scanned into the students records and the originals retained by the student after scanning For detailed information, follow these links: Inquiries, Assistance and Comments?
