Preceptor development. An opportunity to stimulate critical thinking.
In this article, the authors describe a preceptor development program with several unique features. The program provides preceptors with strategies to promote critical thinking and has expanded content on feedback and evaluation processes. Ongoing professional development is continued through follow-up seminars. These seminars provided preceptors with an opportunity to share their experiences, which led to identification of important issues for further exploration. For example, preceptors need assistance developing teaching strategies to meet the needs of the middle-aged new graduate nurse.
