The One Minute Preceptor (OMP) model of teaching has an important role to play during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s quick and easy to learn and can be applied to any clinical setting. By responding directly to a student’s needs, and building on the knowledge they already hold, the OMP is able to offer relevant and opportunistic teaching that the learner can immediately apply. Finally, the OMP can be taught in under two hours meaning medical staff not used to regularly teaching can develop the confidence to offer high quality educational interventions.
