You know the challenge: You don't want to give a resident too much responsibility too soon but you don't want to delay giving responsibility any longer than necessary. How do you know?
Orientation to the residency and to each learning experience gives you and the resident an opportunity to exchange information about the resident's level of skill and confidence. Information you gather about your resident as part of developing the customized plan also contributes. The number and type of questions the resident asks when you are in the modeling role may indicate if he/she needs more direct instruction or is ready for coaching. If you have to give lots of correction or direction in the coaching role you may need to model again. On the other hand, if all goes well, move to facilitating.
In the following questions, a resident's learning needs are described. Select the preceptor role that would best meet the learning needs.
