I found this quite useful. In the category of teaching skills, the use of teaching knowledge is of course very important, but giving good feedback is fundamental:. If you have the knowledge, and know it, and you don't do anything with it, yes, then you aren't bringing any grist to the mill. He has to have that skill, he has to have that desire, and he has to have the courage. Other skills that are essential for a competent teacher are observation and analysis.
The GP-trainer should observe the GP-trainee with some regularity, during surgery and house calls, but also indirectly with the use of video-taped surgeries. In addition to the day-to-day chores involved with running a practice, the GP-trainer has to be alert to deficiencies and gaps in the GP-trainee's knowledge. This allows the GP-trainer to determine which steps in the learning process should follow for the GP-trainee. In other words, you have this opportunity if you observe your trainee.
How does that work? There has to be open communication between the GP-trainer and the trainee. The trainer should be a good listener. If conflicts do occur, however, the trainer has to be able to deal with them. The trainer should have respect for the GP-trainee, should not demean the trainee, especially not in the presence of a patient.
Don't always try to do everything yourself. You have to give the GP-trainee the freedom to do things which you are able to do yourself. If you ask me, it has to do with a curiosity about the potential GP who lives in the trainee.
So it is not about making a copy of yourself, but it's about waking up the doctor who is in your GP-trainee. And yes … awakening, bringing out, that has to do with your attitude, and giving the GP-trainee space is absolutely necessary, but this is also inherent to being a GP. This courage may sometimes imply that he is prepared and willing to look at his own weaknesses.
Being able to do this is a characteristic of a competent trainer. A GP-trainer has a dual responsibility. A competent GP-trainer can cope with this. And it is … on the one hand you want to protect your patients from such mistakes, and on the other hand, it is impossible to completely avoid this, and the reverse also happens that you want to protect your GP-trainee from making mistakes. I think that, to be successful all around, that you as GP-trainer will have to expend a lot of energy.
In a one-on-one situation, the GP-trainer must be able to individualize his teaching approach to the specific GP-trainee. All GP-trainees should be approached according to their learning needs. This is especially important during the first period of the training period, because at this time, the GP-trainee encounters general practice and its associated threats and unknowns for the first time.
Do you follow? That's how a GP-trainee sees you, doesn't he? When you start reviewing videos and those sorts of things, those are situations in which the trainee feels pretty vulnerable. One important traits in this category is enthusiasm.
The competent GP-trainer must attempt to convey his enthusiasm to the practice staff too:. A good GP-trainer has self-insight, self-knowledge and the ability to reflect on situations and actions: this is a basic prerequisite, which also allows the trainer to put the attitude and behaviour of the GP-trainee in perspective. So you have to be comfortable in your position.
I think that that's very important. Flexibility is a characteristic which most GPs have. This notwithstanding, it is a trait which is particularly drawn upon in a GP-trainer. Integrity was mentioned in each group as a trait which a competent GP-trainer should have. Or to keep a man practice running. Or to let the dog out. Or to treat drop-in patients during holidays. Yes, that is a little bit unrealistic, eh. A summary of all the results gives a complete picture of the competent GP-trainer.
Of course, if all these characteristics are combined, we end up with an unrealistic concept of what a GP-trainer should be, and sometimes even a somewhat idealized representation. As a result of this research, an image of the ideal GP-trainer has developed. A competent trainer needs good teaching knowledge. This was not examined in any great depth by the participants of the focus groups, but it was clear that knowledge about the skills was implicitly assumed.
The fact that there must also be knowledge about adult learning and learning theories i. With the help of knowledge, which can also partially be obtained through experience with teaching, it is possible to use specific teaching skills effectively.
