This course discusses a variety of key issues central to becoming an effective, evidence-based clinical educator/supervisor/preceptor. By completing the six modules in this course, learners will explore basic principles and obligations of clinical education. They will be introduced to evidence-based strategies for effective clinical instruction.

This introductory level presentation will cover basic principles of health care payment, including working with payers (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, private/commercial insurers), reviewing fee schedules and insurance contracts, and understanding coding systems (e.g., Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases), as well as provide guidance for efficient and compliant billing and documentation.

Lead with confidence when the path forward isn’t clear. Explore how academic leaders can navigate competing demands, ethical tensions, and incomplete information with transparency and compassion. You’ll gain practical decision‑making frameworks and strategies to sustain faculty morale, productivity, and trust, even when no perfect solution exists.

Attendees will learn tangible ways to utilize feedback mechanisms and how to best prepare the clinical supervisors associated with their clinical education programs to utilize the feedback tool.
