A vital part of medical education, preceptors engage students in a variety of clinical activities and demonstrate application of the art and science of medicine in practice. Preceptorship can include observation of practice, medical history-taking, physical and diagnostic examinations, and the observation or participation in therapeutic interventions and patient education.
With the ability to participate in patient care in a real-world setting, students become better prepared for their own practice. With your guidance, students grow their ability to think critically, make decisions, act professionally, and refine their organization skills. And your generosity reinforces the power of giving back to the community and natural medicine profession.
