- Abstract
Background and problems: During clinical training, including clinical supervision, preceptors play many roles, including positive role modeling. Although it is important for preceptors to be aware of the messages they explicitly convey to students, there are no studies that show how they can broaden this awareness. Purpose: Describe the impact of participating, over a period of one year, in a preceptor community of practice on role modeling in clinical supervision. Methods: A formative action research study was conducted within an interdisciplinary community of practice consisting of 10 preceptors in health and social sciences at Université Laval. Data collected included transcripts of the meetings and questionnaires completed by both preceptors and students. The data were analyzed qualitatively. Results: Participation in the community of practice had a positive impact for both participants and their students. Preceptors reported having a better understanding of the concept of explicit role-modeling in clinical supervision, and were better able to integrate the role into their knowledge and practical know-how during supervision. Preceptors reported that participation also strengthened their educational strategies, including demonstrations to students, a finding that was confirmed by students. Conclusion: The study helped identify many positive impacts of preceptor participation in an interdisciplinary community of practice on role-modeling in a clinical setting. Results of the study will guide the management of other preceptor communities of practice, and will help set up faculty development activities on role-modeling during clinical supervision.
