ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Most case managers develop professional skills and knowledge through experience and mentorship from accomplished senior case managers. The benefits of being a mentor are also significant, from the satisfaction of seeing your mentee learn and grow to sharpening your own skills as a case manager. Patricia Benner, RN, Ph.D, wrote the book on developing others from novice to expert practice. This webinar will focus on how case managers can guide and facilitating the mentor relationships using the practical knowledge they use every day. We'll also introduce you to tools to support mentoring.
After the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Provide at least three practice-based examples of facilitating the 1) The mentee’s relational and engagement skills with patients/families; 2) Mentee’s interviewing and questioning strategies that facilitate knowledge and understanding of the learning and information needs of patients and families in the mentee’s cases.
- Identify at least five major areas of local practical/practice knowledge needed in your specific “curriculum” for case manager mentees in your particular case management practice.
- Develop a plan for facilitating teaching and learning of the major domains of learning and practice for mentees in the case manager's particular practice, identifying and articulating (1) Major aims, goals and functions of case management in the particular practice; (2) Ways of teaching and guiding experiential learning for areas of practical/practice knowledge in specific patient population of the case manager.
