We have updated our preceptor training to include confirmation of training and orientation information for all preceptors and clinical liaisons. When preceptors take the Platinum Ed EMS Preceptor Training, they will now see a new section titled “Affirmation of Preceptor Orientation and Training.” Each preceptor and/or clinical site liaison can then attest to receiving the program’s required orientation and training information and materials.
It is best practice for programs to customize their preceptor training to include their program’s specific training and orientation information, which is a requirement for accredited programs. Your custom preceptor training and orientation should include:
purpose of the student rotation (minimum competencies, skills, and behaviors)
evaluation tools used by the program
evaluation criteria for assessing student performance
program’s contact information
program’s definition of a Team Lead
program’s required minimum number of Team Leads
To encourage programs to customize their preceptor training, we have included the following message to the School Administrator’s “Manage Training” page:
While Platinum’s preceptor training offers mentorship, coaching and affirmation of receiving preceptor training and orientation, it is the program’s responsibility to provide program-specific training and orientation materials to all clinical liaisons and preceptors.
Programs are strongly encouraged to customize the preceptor training to include program-specific orientation and training. To customize your preceptor training, you can create your own preceptor training from scratch, or you can clone the Platinum Ed EMS Preceptor Training and edit it as needed to meet your program’s needs. You may add a variety of content including PowerPoint presentations, training videos, custom forms/quizzes, upload attachments, and more.
If you would like guidance on how to customize your training to meet your program requirements, we welcome you to schedule time with a trainer using the blue “Schedule Training” link on your dashboard or you may use this link: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=13498800&appointmentType=3040593
