Abstract

This article described a specific experience with a preceptor program. Problems inherent in the preceptor role were presented and appropriate solutions recommended. Each individual preceptor program has factors that are operational, however, many of the concepts and principles of preceptorship are transferable to any setting. By presenting our specific problems and conclusions, other programs may benefit. As professionals, we must continue to disseminate both our successes and difficulties so that professional knowledge can be enhanced.
