Successful clinical student placements help recruit and retain future team members
while strengthening the people working in LTC and the sector.
“Quality of the content is excellent. I am ready to be an effective and efficient preceptor.” – LTC home team member
Providing a good experience for future team members is essential. The relationship between a preceptor and student is very important and can be a rewarding career experience for both parties. The PREP LTC eCourse provides students and preceptors with knowledge, skills, values and attitudes across a wide variety of topics related to clinical student placement and the LTC setting.
The PREP LTC Preceptor eLearning Course is a self-directed online learning solution with eight interactive eLearning modules. Each module takes about 40 – 90 minutes to complete totalling seven hours of learning. The modules include downloadable resources, learning exercises, and interviews with experts, which help LTC homes build positive placement experiences with PSW and nursing students as well as IENs. The course begins with the LTC module.

This year, LTC homes are eligible for unlimited PREP LTC eLearning Course funding. Enrolled homes will receive $210 in backfill funding for each team member who completes the course. The funds will be deposited into the home’s account within 90 days of course completion.
