Teaching Strategies for Interns
• Create a positive environment for the intern
• Give positive reinforcement and reassurance
• Use role modeling, especially in the beginning
• Have intern observe you, then joint patient counseling or patient interview; then you observe intern
• Establish regular feedback times -- both formal and informal
21
Preceptor Concerns
• Interns are not prepared for the rotation
• Heavy workload; no time to work with and
teach interns
• “Do I have enough experience to train an
intern?”
• Uncomfortable providing feedback and
evaluation

Why is Feedback Important?
• Helps to reinforce positive behaviors
• Helps to correct and improve upon behaviors that need improvement
• Fosters good communication
• Guidance to understand your expectations
• Feedback is formative and on-going!
24
Why is Evaluation Important?
• Helps intern to know if they have met all of the competencies
• Gives good overview of what the intern has accomplished
• Helps preceptor know how to help intern progress to the next level
• Evaluation is summative!
