Neuromyths Busted: Essential Neuroscience for Preceptors
Week 6: Neuromyth Review summarizes common misunderstandings about how the brain learns and highlights evidence-based principles that matter for precepting. Key points include the roles of sleep, neuroplasticity, and distributed memory networks, and why the 10% brain and left/right brain myths are misleading.The episode explains how memory is built and lost, why rehearsal, spaced retrieval, and reflection (metacognition) improve learning, and why repeated check-ins and low-stakes testing help orientees retain skills.Practical takeaways stress that forgetting is normal, practice plus reflection builds expertise, and Universal Design for Learning is a better teaching approach than catering to learning styles. Links to the full Betz et al. 2019 report are provided for further reading.

Mastering the 1-Minute Preceptor: Five Micro-Skills for Clinical Teaching
Preceptor Study Week 6 covers effective questioning strategies and introduces the One-Minute Preceptor (OMP) model. The episode explains types of questions, emphasizes guiding learners to reason rather than giving answers, and walks through the five OMP micro-skills: get a commitment, probe for understanding, teach general rules, reinforce what was done right, and correct errors. A clinical example involving hemodynamics demonstrates the approach, and listeners are directed to additional resources and follow-up sessions.
