“…However, there was a paucity of guidance regarding how to do this effectively. Prior to the pandemic, studies specific to remotely precepted rotations were scarce and focused on the implementation of this model in areas with limited resources or in underserviced communities (Johnson, 2019;Weddle et al, 2020). Subsequent studies focused primarily on the student experience with remote DPC rotations.…”

Background: During the pandemic, experiential rotations transitioned from in-person to remote rotations. Methods: The authors surveyed preceptors about their experiences and perceptions of remote rotations. Preceptors completed an online questionnaire divided into six domains: 1) General demographics; 2) Preceptor/student relationship; 3) Preceptor support and continuing professional development opportunities; 4) Technology; 5) Preceptor perceptions; and 6) Motivators and challenges. Responses were coded and analysed for emerging themes. Results: A total of 47 out of 157 preceptors (30%) responded to the questionnaire, and most preceptors were willing to precept remotely again (85%). Student responsiveness (87%) and enjoyment of teaching (83%) were the greatest motivators. Major themes reflected the preceptor’s struggles in building rapport and facilitating in-the-moment learning opportunities. Preceptors identified guidance and on-going support as key factors to ensure preceptor and student readiness and to manage expectations. The formula for a successful rotation included careful consideration of appropriate pedagogy, technology, and a dose of motivation. Conclusion: Preceptors reflected a positive experience in leading remote rotations. Traditional precepting approaches employed during in-person rotations need to be adapted and individualised for the context of remote rotations, highlighting that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Transitioning to a remote environment generates new opportunities and drives innovation.
