Preceptor Development

*
**

Wyoming AHEC calls upon community health professionals to act as preceptors to medical students, pharmacy students, nursing students, psychology students, and social work students. Interdisciplinary preceptor development workshops have been offered.

The links below cover a range of topics that we think many of these preceptors will find interesting.

Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) Web site publishes a table of contents with on-line article abstracts for their Family Medicine Journal going back to 1997. Starting with the June 1998 issue a new feature of particular interest to community preceptors was added: For the Office-based Teacher of Family Medicine.

These articles highlight different topics of interest to community preceptors each month. The STFM Web site provides the complete text for these articles.
