What Should I Look for in a Clinical Preceptor?

Willingness is necessary. Eligibility, patient mix, and a workable schedule are what make a preceptor usable.

Look for a clinician who is eligible under your university’s current list, whose practice actually produces the required patient mix, and whose calendar can produce the hours before the deadline.
