  • The Preceptor Mindset
    Contains 12 Component(s), Includes Credits

    Clinical preceptors are essential to developing competent athletic trainers, yet many receive little formal training in how to teach in clinical settings. Most preparation emphasizes supervision and administrative tasks rather than fostering clinical reasoning, learner autonomy, and effective learning environments. This course addresses that gap by shifting the focus from supervising to developing clinicians. Participants will explore strategies to create psychological safety, support productive struggle, and apply a practical framework for balancing patient care with student learning. Emphasis is placed on real-time, efficient teaching techniques that enhance clinical reasoning and improve the overall quality of clinical education.
