Abstract: Establishing appropriate expectations for a student clinician at the beginning of their clinical rotation is important to maximize the student’s clinical skill development and to create a rewarding professional experience for both student and preceptor. This session will review a tool developed to assist clinical preceptors and students in establishing appropriate expectations, considerations for adapting the tool for students at different stages of clinical development, and methods to secure good communication that encourage open dialogue between student and preceptor about all aspects of the student’s professional development.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the benefits of developing good communication between student clinician and preceptor.
Analyze an expectations tool created to assist students and preceptors with developing appropriate expectations and outcome goals for their clinical rotation.
Evaluate adjustments needed to refine the tool for students at different stages of their clinical development.
