Family Medicine Residency Site: Abbotsford-Mission

At the recent UBC Faculty Development Retreat, I had the privilege of co-presenting with Chief Resident Dr. Alicia Pawluk (PGY2 & IMG) on Transition to Practice. We began the session asking Preceptors what they wish they would have known prior to entering their profession. Here’s what they shared:

Over the next week, I’ll be highlighting Preceptors’ insights and suggestions on Practice Management. Learn about our Abbotsford-Mission & Chilliwack Residents’ perspectives, needs, and ideas on Transition to Practice here!

Cheers!

Description: Medical education is initiating a shift in the preceptor-resident dynamic and encouraging more of “coach approach” to the relationship. The intentions behind this transition are to support and further develop learners through identifying needs, creating a plan, goal setting, and self-monitoring. In this session, we will assess our coaching experiences and skills as well reflect on how our sense of purpose and value system informs the ways in which we interact with and guide others.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Warmly,

Jacqueline
