Preparing for a Placement
• Find the UBC Dietetics Internship modules and forms for the module(s) applicable to your placement – this is your (and your intern’s) guide to the placement• Plan ahead in your schedule – try to minimize non-essential meetings
and activities to allow time to discuss and debrief with intern • Provide your intern with any resources or tools that would be helpful
to review ahead of time
Once your intern arrives…
• Review module form together focusing on “Intern Placement Planning and Learning Activities Checklist”
Identify activities to be completed:• Within the first 3 days of starting placement• Throughout the placement• 2-3 days prior to the end of the placement (and the Preceptor’s
evaluation checklist)
Establish a plan for a successful placement• Discuss placement setting hours of work, routines, dress code,
appropriateness of electronic device use, methods of communication, etc.• Discuss schedule/plan to ensure required learning activities can be
achieved including any deferred from past placement(s)• Discuss and finalize intern goals for the placement
Orient your intern to the placement area• Tour relevant areas• Review job description and any other documents that clarify
preceptor’s role or schedule• Review any additional resources or tools specific to placement setting
Throughout placement
• Module-specific learning activities meant to provide opportunities to demonstrate performance indicators outlined in the Performance Evaluation section of the module form
Some other food for thought
• Be clear about expectations from the beginning – refer to the Module Expectations in the Introduction section of the module• Observation goes both ways – they can learn from observing you, and
you can help guide them by providing feedback based on observation• Provide regular feedback• Interns are there to learn from you – your knowledge and experience
can’t be learned from a textbook!
