Implementing Structure Change: Preceptor Training Program in Long-Term Care

Long-term care (LTC) has experienced pandemic-induced staffing shortages, requiring skilled preceptors to nurture competent direct-care staff. Implementing a structure change, a Preceptor Training Program (PTP), establishes an organized framework for investing in preceptor development. This quality improvement (QI) project aims to successfully implement a PTP and increase the pool of quality-trained preceptors to train the rapid influx of new staff at a LTC facility.
