MD - Family Medicine - Continuity clinic - Preceptor

Presbyterian Healthcare Services

1d • Onsite

About The Position

As a regular preceptor for family medicine residents, attending physicians will create a supportive educational environment that is evidence-based and consistent with current guidelines. They will review each patient case with resident physicians and guide them to deliver the most appropriate care in addition to supporting them with in-basket management. Preceptors are typically scheduled to precept one ½ day per week, but can precept more. If not scheduled weekly, they may be asked to help with didactics or other resident education or make up sessions. Preceptors are expected to be ready at the start of clinic (8am and 1pm) and stay until the end (12pm/5pm) to ensure all patients are staffed. If multiple preceptors are present at the end of clinic with few remaining residents, they can decide who stays late. Precepting is the priority during scheduled time, and residents should be able to interrupt preceptors. Meetings and personal patient appointments should be avoided during precepting, though availability for clinic emergencies/urgent triages is expected. Preceptors should actively troubleshoot if a resident is significantly behind (>1 hour) in seeing patients.
