This Is Just Your Next Rotation

BLUF: Bottom Line Up Front

The AI Preceptor  Lab is a half-day in-person rotation for Houston-area healthcare leaders who need to learn how to think about AI before they're asked to lead it.

8 to 24 seats. $400 holds yours. 

Built on learning science, not slides.
Delivered in person, not on Zoom.
Designed for the hospital leaders who have everything to protect.

Remember when you stopped surviving rotations and started leading?


Remember that structured thinking? 


Remember the discipline that made you ... you?


This is exactly what makes AI yours to command.


This isn't a seminar. It's a return.

"I'm not resisting the future.  I'm resisting software built by people who've never managed a 4 AM staffing crisis."

~ Jane G,  CNO

Amen Jane!  


That is why we built this rotation for the nursing executive who operates at full capacity and needs AI to clear the administrative debris.

"The organization says they want more speed, but my colleagues didn't go to medical school to trust a black box.  


Neither did I."

~ Dr. Waheed, CMO

Dr. Waheed, and neither should you. 


 Your profession demands accuracy.

 

You have to hold the line. 


 This is where physician executives—with everything to protect—learn how to think about  AI before risking their colleagues or their reputation. 


"A powerful AI model slapped on top of a fundamentally broken workflow will only generate automated chaos at a faster rate."

~ Alex A.  COO

Alex, this is 100% true. 


And you are the organizational translator, nobody thanks.


You don't need the power of AI explained. 


You need a framework and language that survives contact with a defensive clinical director at 11 AM and a C-suite ROI demand at 2 PM


You are fluent in clinical.  You are fluent in executive.


For you, this rotation is about expanding your early adopter lexicon. 

"Everyone in that boardroom assumes I already have an AI strategy. I have not corrected them."

~ Connie Z.  CEO, DNP,  NEA-BC

Connie, thanks for saying the quiet part out loud.


This rotation was built for exactly that room — the one where you smiled and nodded and then went home and opened your laptop. 


But our room is where Executives get to be the students.


You've managed harder rooms than this for longer than most people have been in healthcare.


This rotation gives you the one thing your title doesn't — permission to start from the beginning.

Every person in that boardroom thinks someone else has this figured out.

Nobody has... Yet.

Every tech training you've ever attended was a fire hose of feature functions delivered by experts.


You left, feeling confident, but the confidence collapsed on Monday morning.

Patricia Benner's 1984 model confirms your experience: expertise is built through experience tailored to a learner's level.

A Novice needs rules and context. 

An Expert needs a sparring partner.

Everyone needs a preceptor

Everyone needs someone nearby who asks the question that makes you find the answer,

Everyone needs someone who knows how much challenge your current stage can handle.

Remember your first clinical rotation?

You wanted to save lives.

Instead, your preceptor sent you on a hunt.

They didn't waste your time.

They gave your brain the ability to build the scaffolding on which everything would hang.

The Brainformative AI Preceptor Lab

AI taught the way your brain learns.

You will talk more than we do.

In every AI Preceptor cohort, the facilitator speaks as little as possible.

Not because we don't have things to say.

Because the person talking is the person learning.

Rounds in this lab run on your thinking, your language, and your real leadership challenges.

The cohort is the curriculum. 

Protégé Effect — Nestojko et al., 2014

You will not be given answers.

Benner described expertise as the development of pattern recognition.

That doesn't happen when someone tells and tells and tells and tells you the answer.

The path from Novice to Expert happens because your brain has built a scaffolding of pattern recognition.

The AI Preceptor Lab engineers the conditions for that moment.

The Ah-Ha that lands differently than anything you were told.

We call it Insight Design (TM).

You'll call it the thing that finally made sense.

Generation Effect — Slamecka & Graf, 1978

There are exactly 8 to 24 people in this rotation.

Not because it sounds exclusive.

Because below 8, there isn't enough social learning energy to create the peer interaction that drives sharp thinking.

Above 24, the human brain finds ways to disappear — to observe instead of participate, to lurk instead of learn.

The cap is neurological, not marketing.

Every cohort seat is a working seat.

(Participation is not optional)

Attentional Bottleneck — Pashler, 1994

Protégé Effect — Nestojko et al., 2014

Where Will The Brainformative AI Preceptor Lab Be Held?

We are based in Houston, Texas.   We will be holding the LIVE AI Preceptor Lab cohort in the greater Houston Area. 

Our unique content delivery methods require more than a crowded conference room or a dim hotel ballroom.  

Our goal is to make this LIVE event accessible to the greater Houston area, so we are vetting locations inside 610. 

The specific location TBD.  

Will You Have The AI Preceptor Lab Rotation 1 In Other Cities?

We are currently focused on the Houston Metro Area.

However, if there is enough interest in other cities, we will consider scheduling our unique Facilitated Learning Event in your location.  

What is "enough interest?"  

We would need a minimum of 48 (2 cohorts) pre-enrolled/pre-paid attendees.  

For those who cannot join us in Houston, provide your contact information (Here) and spread the word.  

Can We Attend via Zoom or is there an Online Version?

The short answer is no. 

The longer answer is . . . why would you want to join yet one more "online" class?

Everyone knows they don't work.  

This is a participation lab. The core learning value is based on the Protégé Effect, in which schema construction is accelerated through peer interaction.

The AI Preceptor Lab Rotation 1 is a participation event.   Every cohort seat is a working seat. 

How much time does the AI Preceptor Lab Take?

Big picture?

The day of, give yourself a generous half day.  The learning starts before you ever step into the room.  7 days before you will receive your first lab experiment. Each experiment will take you roughly 15 minutes and will produce an artifact to be discussed with your peers.  There will be three such lab experiments, the last one arriving the day before. Your goal will be to think about it on your drive to the rotation, because it will be one of the first debriefs.  (Your peers will be counting on you.)  

If you attend a morning rotation, the learning shifts into overdrive at 9 AM.  

If you attend an afternoon rotation, the learning shifts into overdrive at 1:30. 

We have found that our Facilitated Learning Events work best at 2.45 hours with a brief break near the midpoint.

For those who choose to stay for the AI strategy Q&A, allow an additional 45 minutes. 

We know you are A-type personalities, so you will be tempted to rush back to the office, but we've delivered our training to many, many executives, decision makers, and leaders.

Brainformative Insight Design method adds a generous dose of adrenaline to the prefrontal cortex, making those "Aha Moments!" explode.   As you leave the lab, you will be teetering between exhaustion and your mind firing with lots of ideas.   

We encourage you to find your thinking space, get out your note-taking tools, and power-dump. 

And then, when your amygdala signals that you've hit your brain energy consumption limit for the day,  sip your beverage of choice for some recovery time.  

You will be tired, and our brain needs the rest so the hard-earned scaffolding you built in the lab can begin construction.          

I'm Not Very Computer Savvy, Can I Attend The Rotation?

No.

While this is novice-level AI content, it should not be mistaken for a remedial computer course.

It's not.

A key part of our participation Terms and Conditions is that those who attend can manage their own technology.

Meaning, they have sufficient mastery over their computer: The ability to log in and out of their own accounts, create text documents, take screenshots, manage images, and successfully save and retrieve class artifacts from a specified folder.  

This engagement does not teach you how to log into your LLM platform or navigate the AI tool of your choice.  

If you are unsure whether your computer skills are sufficient to participate, create a Loom video of what you are struggling with, and we will give you our assessment. (Send it to: support@brainformative.com)

We are very patient with novice learners as they start to habituate new skills.  We don't expect you to have mastered the LLM tools, but we cannot emphasize this enough; if it becomes apparent that you need remedial computer skills help, we will ask you to step out of the class.

It isn't our intent to embarrass, but others with the requisite skills need our focus.

If you are asked to leave a cohort, we will reach out for next steps and or refunds.

Will There Be Snacks or Food Provided?

Contrary to conventional training wisdom, eating a meal while "learning" is an oxymoron.

Eating introduces enormous extraneous cognitive load into any learning environment, which undermines the core goal. 

We know this goes against the "Lunch and Learn" corporate culture, but them's the evidence-based brain science facts. 

Come to the engagement fully fueled and fully caffeinated, and if necessary, stick a protein bar in your pocket.

If My System Has Not Given Me Access to AI Which One Do You Recommend?

The course is LLM agnostic. You can perform all of the exercises and activities in most AI offerings.  

So, any of the following will work fine: OpenAI's ChatGPT, Super Grok, Anthropic's Claude,  and Google Gemini. 

There is one caveat to this list.   Claude is a fantastic LLM that should be a top contender for an enterprise AI tool stack; however, it cannot create images. The engagement has an image creation evolution, so if you have Anthropic products, you won't be able to do this part of the class. 

Here is the truth.  We use these three LLM's: Super Grok, Claude, and Gemini. You will see us use all three in class.  

We do not use ChatGPT.  We have plenty of AI tools; we don't need this one in our belt. 

However, since ChatGPT is (currently) considered the most "secure" LLM platform, which makes it the most likely model in your healthcare system, your best choice is to use a paid version of ChatGPT.  

Do I Have To Be Part of the C-Suite To Attend?

The short answer is no.  

Or maybe better said, we strive to create an environment where healthcare leadership can set aside their titles and rank for a while so they can just be a novice in a new knowledge domain. 

 However, this engagement is designed for healthcare leadership: Director and above. 

Our goal is to help healthcare decision makers wrap their minds around this emerging technology in the context of their needs and understanding.   The exercises and conversations are geared toward peers. 

However, if your organization would like to nominate you to attend, regardless of your title, that will be a testimony to your contribution within your organization, and you will be welcome.

What Is Your Refund Policy?

The full details of our refund policy are in our Terms and Conditions, but here are the high points.

After securing your reserved spot with a $400 prepayment you have a full 3-day buyer’s remorse window for a complete refund.

If you decide, for any reason, that you do not want to participate in the AI Preceptor Rotation 1, we will give you your money back without question.  

(Email: Support@Brainformative.com. Subject: Refund.  Provide your receipt number.)

After 3 days, the prepayment becomes non-refundable.

Why?  We will reinvest in marketing to fill the cohort faster and deliver the Brainformative AI Preceptor Rotation to as many Houston Health Care leaders as possible.

As soon as we have a confirmed dates an location, we will send out payment balance notifications. Final payments must be received 72 hours before your cohort date.

If not received, we will open that seat to the next person in line.

You will be given the opportunity to enroll in a later AI Preceptor Lab Rotation .

What If I Can't Come On Rotation Day? 

Assuming you’ve paid in full, we provide ONE reschedule opportunity if you are unable to attend on your designated rotation date.

However, let us emphasize this: Hospitals are locations of crisis. Executives, Directors, Leaders, and Decision makers always have a "reason" to cancel plans to put out a fire.

There is always a reason for you to put off "that training thing," which is why your learning time is relegated to the in-flight magazine and the latest mandatory Healthstream modules.    

We understand that when the Joint Commission arrives,  being absent is a real problem. However, you hired a very trustworthy team to function in your absence. 

Let them live up to your expectations. 

And last but at no point least, those participating in the Brainformative AI Preceptor Rotation are counting on your input, your insights, and your conversation to maximize their learning.
