It’s crucial to recognize the importance of continuous education, even when time is limited, but we often struggle to find time for training within our department.
Here is a rad idea that a colleague shared that I thought was cool to keep your training going even with limited resources, especially time! The idea is to implement an innovative “Snack and See” concept!
What is it? It is an easy approach that allows for a 15-minute presentation accompanied by delightful snacks. If there is downtime, pull out the snacks and offer a short presentation on a clinical or nonclinical topic!
Are 15 minutes too much to ask for? Then, try a poster board format where the team can review important information while enjoying a treat at their convenience! Additionally, you can set up a TV with slides displaying the key content to capture those unable to attend the training or huddle. This way, team members can access the information conveniently, ensuring everyone stays informed and engaged.
By prioritizing education and providing multiple avenues for learning, you can empower your team to keep up-to-date and continuously develop their skills. Embrace the “Snack and See” approach to foster a culture of ongoing education within your department, regardless of time constraints.
