Preceptorship: a period of training under a
preceptor. Preceptor: a practicing
physician who volunteers to give personal instruction, training, and
supervision to a medical student. A
preceptorship experience during the first two years of medical school is a
‘mentoring experience’. During
a preclinical preceptorship it is hoped that students will have the
opportunity to follow a patient over time.
UWSOM Preceptorship
courses are available for UWSOM medical students only and are not available
for visiting and non-matriculated UWSOM medical students.
For UWSOM medical
students who are completing their first year in Eastern
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska, preceptorships are scheduled through the ICM course. For students completing their first year at
the Seattle campus
and for second year students the following information applies.
Students are
required to complete one preceptorship during the first year of the basic
science curriculum. It
is strongly recommended that students consider at least one preceptorship experience
with a physician in primary care (Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or
Pediatrics).
Enrollment in a preceptorship is distributed throughout Autumn,
Winter, and Spring quarters.
Students should
begin the planning of a preceptorship by contacting the department of
interest in advance (by the end of the previous quarter) with the exception
of Autumn quarter where the preceptorship may be set up the first week of
Autumn Quarter. Each department has a
preceptorship coordinator (listed below) who can help students connect with a
preceptor in their field of interest and provide a faculty code for
registration. Students may not start a preceptorship without first being
registered through the University; insurance, safety, and liability are of
utmost concern.
Students must
register for each preceptorship course prior to the registration deadline
through MYUW.
Students are encouraged to take
additional (more than the one required) preceptorships
during their first and second years in primary care or specialty fields.
·
Students need to fulfill this ~32-hour graduation
requirement by scheduling a minimum of 8 four-hour sessions over eight weeks
during one of the first three quarters (two semesters at WWAMI sites) of
medical school.
·
Students need to plan to travel outside of the
University to complete preceptorships. Preceptors are limited.
·
Specific departmental requirements are available through
the department preceptorship coordinator.
Availability within each department is limited. Preceptorships are
registered on a first come first serve basis.
Please understand that all of our first and second year preceptors
offer their time on a volunteer basis.
·
When contacting the preceptorship coordinator, plan to
share your interests and availability, plan to have alternate times &
quarters available.
·
UWSOM does not waive late registration fees. Registration deadlines are:
o
Autumn 2008 = September 29, 2009 deadline
o
Winter 2009 = January 3, 2010 deadline
o
Spring 2009 = March 28, 2010 deadline
o
Summer 2009 = June 20, 2010 deadline
·
Preceptorship guides are available online (to the right
under Other Links of Interest) as well as from the department preceptorship
coordinator.
