title: The circle of safety: a tool for clinical preceptors.
abstract: The Circle of Safety is a tool for all clinical faculty, regardless of profession and regardless of locale. Applying principles of teaching-learning, the Circle of Safety was originally developed by the author for use by clinical preceptors in nurse-midwifery education. Its purpose is to provide a structure that removes a major obstacle to learning and facilitates student efforts to learn in accord with an individual's pattern of learning.
