Abstract: Cincinnati Children's Medical Center currently does not have a formal preceptor feedback program to further the education of their preceptors during preceptorship.  The purpose of our educational project is to educate nurse educators on three check-ins that would increase preceptor competency. We created an education session which we presented to nurse educators. Our education outlined the three evidence-based check-in meetings using the Ask-Tell-Ask-Teach model. Each meeting would be fifteen minutes in length and would reinforce the topics of learning styles, situational awareness, and communication, which are key topics presented in the existing preceptor education class. Pre- and post-educational intervention quizzes assessed knowledge gained. Results pending.
