Preceptor Education Program from the University of Western Ontario (Available in English)
The Preceptor Education Program is an online interprofessional program with eight interactive learning modules. The modules are available on this website or through eCampus Ontario as an open education resource. Each module takes 30-45 minutes to complete. The modules include downloadable resources, learning exercises, video case scenarios and references. Learning is self-directed. Although you can complete the modules in any order; it is recommended that learners complete them sequentially from modules 1 to 8. You can generate a certificate of completion and complete an optional feedback survey for each module. The program is designed to support students and preceptors in health professions programs as they work together to provide learning environments that will prepare students for the real world of professional practice.听< >
