Why are Preceptors important at Harding?
Preceptors are essential to our clinical phase to mentor and challenge students in real-world experiences needed as they prepare to enter the field. Precepting can be a mutually beneficial experience:
- Influence the next generation of medical providers
- Access program-provided CME resources
- Maintain knowledge of up to date medical practice
- Maintain and potentially increase workplace efficiency
- Students can initiate patient encounters independently - gathering a history, verifying past medical history or medications and performing a physical exam, allowing preceptors to complete charting or orders on previous patients.
- Students can assist with communicating diagnostic test results to patients and developing patient education materials
