Preceptorship
Supervisors invest most in people who prepare beforehand and review afterwards.
Before
Read up on the day's likely examinations and turn confusion into three specific questions. 'Why add fat suppression here' gets a better answer than 'anything to watch out for'.
- Three specific questions a day, never a vague one
- Carry a notebook and write answers down on the spot
- Rehearse the steps aloud before touching the machine
After
Spend two minutes at the end of the day restating one thing you learned. Supervisors notice who improves, and trust follows.
All operation happens under supervision; never exceed what you are authorised to do.
