Overview
This clinical preceptor handbook is designed to provide guidelines to individuals responsible for the clinical education of respiratory students. The handbooks purpose is to assure program consistency among all of the clinical facilities. It is supplement to the student handbook. Clinical preceptors serve as both teacher and role model. Clinical preceptors therefore should be familiar with the following: 1. Current therapeutic techniques. 2. Proper patient care practices. 3. Use of adequate universal protective methods. 4. Medical record documentation. 5. Professional and Ethical Attributes Clinical preceptors should facilitate the information that the students have learned in their didactic courses and performed in the laboratory setting to the clinical environment in accordance with the clinical plan. Clinical preceptors must supervise the students to insure that they follow the programs policies as well as the policies and procedures of the respective clinical facility. Clinical preceptors are to function as a resource person; instructor and supervisor to the respiratory care student. The ultimate responsibility for the patient lies with the clinical preceptor. Preceptors must be readily available as a resource to students at all times and must supervise all student procedures, review all documentation and maintain two-way communication throughout the assigned shift with the student. Students clinical education activities are a learning experience for the student. The student is not to be substituted for staff members.

Chart Reviews
Students are required to perform a comprehensive chart review on at least two medical records daily in Clinic I. The purpose of this exercise is for the student to become proficient in obtaining pertinent information from the patient chart, correlate the diagnosis to the treatment and identify the purpose of medications that are prescribed.

Physician Evaluation
It is essential that students develop bi-directional communication with physicians for the purpose of relaying and interpreting information. Students are required to have a physician evaluation form completed in Clinic III and Clinic IV. The preceptor is asked to facilitate the students in having the physician complete the evaluation. Some physicians are reluctant to sign the document. In this event, it is acceptable for the preceptor to document the physician's response, identify the physician responding and co-sign the form, in lieu of the actual physician's signature.

Faculty Midterm and Final Evaluation The IRSC faculty instructor will complete a midterm and final clinical evaluation for each student. This evaluation focuses on the student's ability to perform clinical work within the guidelines of the respiratory program rather than the specific facility (i.e. handwritten documentation, ventilator flow sheets, etc.). The evaluation form consists of twenty categories with five levels of competency for each level. A brief explanation may be added for the chosen competency level. A sample faculty evaluation is attached.

Competency Forms (the boxes) Students are evaluated on specific procedures and equipment based on four levels of competency. The levels are to be checked off by the preceptor as the student completes them successfully. The four levels should be checked off as follows: Level 1: Level 2: Level 3: Level 4: The student performs the procedure or uses the equipment properly in the laboratory setting. The student visualizes the procedure or equipment performed properly in the clinic setting. The student performs the procedure or uses the equipment properly under direct supervision of the preceptor. The student is able to perform the procedure or is able to use the equipment independently.
After the student completes level three, he/she is eligible to complete the competency evaluation form for that specific procedure or equipment. Preceptors are asked to initial the cover page, sign their name and credential and identify the facility in which they are employed. Students are not to be signed off on Level 2 in the hospital setting unless they have previously been signed off by a faculty member for Level 1 in the lab setting. It is the student's responsibility to secure signatures for the levels of competency once they have met that objective. Specific proficiencies are delineated for each clinical rotation. This is designed to provide the students with the opportunity to learn the theoretical concepts in the classroom setting and master the skill in the lab setting prior to performing the skill at the bedside. The clinical proficiencies are divided between the four clinical rotations. Each clinic builds on successful completion of the prior rotation. The schedule of clinical proficiencies is attached along with the clinic plan for each clinical rotation. Preceptors are asked to be familiar with the clinic plan in order to assure the student's maximize their learning opportunities in the clinical setting.
