The preceptor one-pagers, listed below, combine some of the committee’s own resources as well as some of the best precepting practices that are outlined in the literature:

Check out the “Transition to Professional Practice” guidelines as well as the preceptor one-pagers, offering time-tested methods for making the precepting experience as efficient and rewarding as possible. We’re sure that you, your preceptors, and your students will benefit from these valuable tips and suggestions.
