Workplace-based clinical training. Part 2: training of practice-based educators and assessments

It is likely, in the near future, that many practices and practice-based veterinarians will be directly involved in the workplace-based core clinical training of veterinary students. An understanding of what is involved is important so that informed decisions regarding participation can be made. This article, the second in a two-part series, describes the training of practice-based preceptors, using the University of Surrey's clinical practice network as a case study throughout. These preceptors oversee the supervision, facilitation and assessment of final year veterinary students during their intramural rotations. It also describes the student journey and assessment strategies that ensure evidence is collated of students' Day 1 competences.
