Met today with the director of clinical education. It is amazing how effective and efficient the clinical education program is at hospitals and health systems. The preceptor model is proven to be extremely effective in educating adult clinical staff. It's the evaluations, tests and competencies validations that I think is most impressive though. Clinical staff take short survey during classroom instruction to identify the immediate feedback. But assessments that occur by the preceptor, the coworkers, the team manager and clincal director occur a couple of weeks and several months after the training to asess if learning and change in behavior occurred. And these assessments are done by simulation, stretch assignments, testing and observation. All of the data is also collected and analyzed to see if there is a decrease in grievences, turnover, fatalities, etc. In my experience, this evaluation model is the only one I've seen that truly captures all 4 phases of Kirkpatricks evaluation model. I wonder why the clinical industry has been able to capitalize on this and why a lot of these best practices have not been applied to human captial, universities, financial sectors, etc.
