This workshop is designed to provide an introduction to the key elements of the two-day 'Preceptors in the Nexus' workshop. Interactive and fast-paced, participants will learn how to create a culture of interprofessional collaboration that aligns education and practice and optimizes the interprofessional clinical learning environment.

Join us for practical tips on how to transform your academic-clinical partnership to reap the benefits of a true Nexus team. This session will include selected practical tools (see below) from the soon to be released Setting the Stage for a Transformative Nexus Team: An Introductory Toolkit. The target audience includes practicing educators, clinicians, and staff as well as education and practice leaders.

Taught by Dr. Barret Michalec, an active qualitative researcher and Associate Dean of Interprofessional Education. Dr. Michalec has taught various courses in qualitative methods, and led numerous seminar-style, intensive programs on qualitative methods for IPE/IPC evaluation and assessment specifically tailored for clinician-researchers. He has also lead numerous clinician-based scholarly teams in developing and administering qualitative-based evaluation and assessment protocols, as well as the “writing up” of the analysis and interpretation of the data gleaned from those protocols.
