Abstract: Preceptors play a critical role in athletic training clinical education, but they lack training to be effective in this role. The One Minute Preceptor method (OMP) is a simple five-step clinical teaching tool that provides succinct guidelines for clinical educators. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of an OMP method training on preceptor knowledge and use of the OMP skills. A one-group pre-post design was used with surveys assessing knowledge and use of the OMP skills completed pre-, post-, and 4 weeks following OMP training. Eleven certified athletic trainers completed the pre- and post-training surveys, and six completed the surveys at all three intervals. The OMP training consisted of watching a 20-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation that included three student-preceptor case examples using the OMP. Familiarity with the OMP method increased significantly between the pre- (M = 1.18 ± .405) and post-training (M = 3.0 ± 1.138) surveys, t (10) = -4.822, p <.001. Participants (n = 6) mean knowledge scores increased from of 6.33 ± .82 at pre-training to 7.33 ± 1.63 at post-training, which was a significant increase in knowledge, t (5) = -2.739, p < .05. Knowledge scores remained the same at the 4-week follow-up. There were no changes in the overall use of the OMP or in any OMP microskills; this could be due to high baseline scores. Future studies should assess use at multiple intervals over a longer period of time. Overall, participants rated the OMP training favorably. Seven participants rated the presentation as “Very Good” while two rated it as “Excellent” and the other two rated it as “Good”. All participants also “Agreed” or “Strongly Agreed” that they learned a lot about the OMP method and that they would be more likely to use it. Findings show that the OMP training was effective at improving knowledge of the OMP.
