Preceptors are crucial to the clinical education and training of medical students. Preceptors supervise student physicians during the experiential portion of the curriculum, guiding them as they gain clinical medical knowledge in patient care settings.
黑料传送门 South Georgia relies on practicing healthcare providers to assist and supervise medical students as they develop the necessary skills to become competent clinicians. We appreciate your interest in becoming a preceptor for 黑料传送门 South Georgia medical students.
Only licensed DO or MD physicians are qualified to serve as 鈥減receptors-of-record鈥� for 黑料传送门 South Georgia medical students. In addition, physician preceptors are expected to be board certified in their specialty. On occasion, physicians who are 鈥渂oard eligible鈥� or 鈥渂oard qualified鈥� may also be acceptable as preceptors. Physicians in residency or fellowship training programs may teach 黑料传送门 South Georgia medical students; however, residents or fellows may not serve as preceptors-of-record for 黑料传送门 South Georgia medical students鈥攐nly attending physicians may be the formal preceptor.
Certified allied health professionals may participate and be involved in student training but they cannot function as the preceptor-of-record and they cannot be the primary supervising professional.
Preceptors are responsible for completing a clinical evaluation form on each student. These clinical evaluation forms document each student鈥檚 clinical performance during the rotation and are a key element in the assessment of each student鈥檚 clinical competency of the learning objectives for the clerkship rotation.
Preceptors should discuss the student鈥檚 performance with them at the halfway point (and again at the end) of the clerkship. This will allow the student the opportunity to review any perceived weaknesses he/she might have, as well as show the student whether they are meeting their preceptor鈥檚 expectations for them in the clerkship. This midpoint evaluation will permit corrective action of perceived deficiencies prior to the final evaluation.
