Hi, I am Jenny Christner, Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Associate Dean for undergraduate medical education Upstate Medical University. Today we are going to be talking about orienting your learner. After you complete this module, you should be able to describe the importance of orienting your learners, and also be able to implement an effective orientation for your learners. Orienting your learner is very important. It sets down the foundation and the expectations for your time together. You want to make that a very solid start. You don't want to start from a broken foundation. It really doesn't matter how long you're going to be with your learner. You might be with them for half a day, for a week or a month, or you may have a longitudinal continuity experience with them where the learner may be with you for one to three years. It's still important in all these scenarios to have an orientation with your learner on day one. Why don't we take a minute and have you think about what an orientation would be like in your particular setting? Your setting may be in the OR. It may be in the emergency room. Or an outpatient clinic. Take a moment and think about what would be important to orient your learner to on the very first day
