The Preceptor Education Program is an online interprofessional program for students and preceptors, that consists of eight interactive learning modules. The modules cover various topics such as orientation, evaluation and conflict management. Many of the modules are designed in a way that allows preceptors and students to work through them together. Each module takes approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. They are independent of each other and do not need to be completed in any order. They can also be used by any health care discipline. The modules also include downloadable resources, learning exercises, video case scenarios and references. Upon completion of a module, a certificate can be printed as a record of the education attained.
