Clinical Preceptor in Family Medicine Designation
Preceptors with the Family Medicine 501 Course are automatically designated as Clinical Preceptors in Family Medicine with successful completion of the UW Health Sciences Professional Liability Questionnaire. This title is a designation and not a faculty appointment. The University’s self-insured professional malpractice insurance for teaching is extended to all health care professionals who are participating in School of Medicine teaching experiences for the first time or who do not qualify for appointment to the clinical faculty
Applying for a Clinical Faculty Appointment
For those preceptors who have worked with 501 students for more than a year, you may be eligible to apply for appointment to the clinical faculty. Appointment to the clinical faculty involves a minimum contribution of 50 hours of teaching per year. New Clinical Faculty appointments can be made at any time. Preceptors may also request promotion to a higher clinical faculty level. Promotions occur annually. Paperwork to request a promotion should be completed by February.
Benefits of Clinical Faculty Appointments
The appointment provides professional malpractice coverage related to student or resident teaching and provides benefits such as access to intramural activities privileges, use of UW libraries, access to the Internet through the University, eligibility to purchase season tickets for UW sporting and cultural events and savings on purchases through the University Book Store annual year-end rebate policy.
