The Health Communication Assessment Tool (HCAT), developed by UBC and Fairfield University, is intended for use in clinical simulations to evaluate the communication skills of student and professional healthcare providers. Evaluators using this tool can be faculty, peers, and participants. They are to observe a student interacting with a patient or their family and then rate 22 statements such as “explained the reason for her/his visit in appropriate terms” on a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). Higher scores demonstrate greater competency with health communication behaviors.
A study conducted using an interprofessional, international sample to further test the validity of HCAT can be accessed here.

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.
