Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe preceptors' perceptions of a competency-based orientation. Results of a 26-item questionnaire that was distributed to all preceptors indicated the majority of preceptors agreed that 1. the identified core competencies were role- and unit-specific, and 2. competency-based orientation is an effective method of orientation. However, the majority of preceptors indicated that the length of time for completion of core competencies was insufficient; this may reflect in the new employee's ability to function as a competent practitioner. Learner-focused orientation programs that provide sufficient time for validation of competencies must be developed.
