Preceptor Education Program (PEP)
The Preceptor Education Program is an online interprofessional program that consists of nine interactive learning modules. The modules include downloadable resources, learning exercises, video case scenarios and references. Learning is self-directed in that modules are self-directed and do not need to be completed in any particular order. Many of the modules are designed so that preceptors and students can work through them together. After completing a reflective note, a certificate can be printed at the end of each module to record the education completed.
