Tools for Reviewing Clinic
Environment
N Develop a checklist to review the clinic
environment. This includes making sure
that equipment is in place, that clinical
standards support the newly acquired
skills, and that clinic management and
systems (especially financial) support
the trainee’s use of new skills.
Tools for Obtaining General
Feedback
N Develop a questionnaire to obtain
feedback from the trainee about what
might be done to improve future
training.
N Hold an open-ended interview with
the trainee to discuss what parts of the
training worked well and what could
be improved. Ask some questions about
specific parts of the training.
Tools for Problem Solving
N Develop a tool to note areas where the
trainee has performed well and areas
where improvement is needed.
N Sit down and develop an action plan
to address any of the areas needing
improvement.
Tools to Obtain feedback
N Develop a questionnaire to obtain
feedback from the trainee about what
might be done to improve future
training.
N Hold an open-ended interview with
N Ask Px to divide into 4 groups.
N Ask 2 of the groups to develop tools
they could use to determine whether
trainees had performed well and
where improvement is needed.
N Ask the other 2 groups to develop
a template for an action plan to
address any of the areas needing
improvement.
N Explain that the problem-solving
tool should have areas to note good
performance as well as areas to note
performance that needs improvement.
A good action plan identifies a person
responsible for each action, the
resources needed, a target date for
completion, and changes expected
to occur as a result of the action. It
is also useful to detail the specific
actions in sequence or steps.
N Give Px 30 minutes to develop 1 tool
for problem solving and to obtain
feedback from the trainees. Px should
write their form on a flip-chart and
post it.
N Groups may review each other’s tools
and comment on what they liked and
disliked about each.
N Process the activity by asking what
they learned from reviewing and
creating the tools and how they are
going to use what they learned in the
future.
The trainer should:
