The Preceptor Master-Class: Motivating the Unmotivated

Co-sponsored by CIPhER and the Office of Experiential Programs

5:00 pm – 6:00 p.m., Wednesday, November 4, 2020, Via Zoom

Do you encounter learners who are disengaged, not interested, or distracted? Are you curious about how learner motivation research can be used to improve their engagement? In this Preceptor Master-Class, participants will be led through an interactive discussion with precepting and educational experts. Participants will share their experiences and challenges with motivating learners to receive explicit feedback on how they can improve their practices with evidence-based techniques. Attendees should submit questions to structure our discussion by November 2—the goal is for participants to bring specific questions and challenges to receive feedback about areas for improvement from their peers and educational experts.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this program, participants will be able to:

1. Discuss challenges with motivating and engaging learners in practice
2. Compare motivation theories that describe observed learner behaviors
3. Apply strategies from motivation theories to stimulate learner engagement

Target Audience:  This program is designed for all preceptors, faculty, staff and trainees working in an experiential setting.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE:  Friday, October 30, at 5 p.m.
