How to teach procedural skills

Abstract Overview

George and Doto’s five-stage approach has been used by medical educators to teach a wide variety of clinical skills. However, modifications of this method arguably provides a more effective approach to teach multi-part psychomotor skills complex skills required for safe clinical procedural practice.

Five-stage approach
1. Conceptualisation
2. Visualisation
3. Verbalisation by the supervisor
4. Verbalisation by the learner
5. Practice

Modification of this approach includes.
• Breakdown of structural steps (with or without the use of simulation)
• Provision of immediate feedback
• Development of competency
• Determining competency
• Plan for deliberate practice.

This Workshop aims to assist supervisors (at all levels of training) to teach a multi-part psychomotor skill while simultaneously providing patient centered informed care and insuring patient safety.

Biography

As the Supervisor Liaison Officer (SLO) in Tasmania, I am looking forward to supporting you as we deliver the ACRRM Fellowship program. The SLO is a conduit between the supervisor and ACRRM, helping to advocate for supervisors and supporting your professional development. I am a Rural Generalist with an interest in medical education, and have been working in the GP training space for the past 12 years. I’ve recently moved back to Tasmania, after a few years working in remote NT, where I had worked as a RG at the hospital, a GP, supervisor, and the Northern Territory SLO. I am based on the East Coast of Tasmania, where I am working at St Helens as a RG/supervisor, as well as some work as a medical educator with ACRRM. My main job though is raising my three beautiful children, who keep me on my toes! I enjoy supervision, education, and training, and I’m keen to make sure ACRRM registrars and supervisors get the support they need to have the best training experience possible.
