Preceptors

Promoting Preceptor Experience for Students 

 

In the health care field, preceptors are experts or specialists, such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists and dentists who provide practical experience and training opportunities for students in those health care fields.  Time spent with preceptors is a crucial component of health care education and professional development. 

Doctors, nurses and other health care professionals serve in Preceptor program to train students

The University of Colorado Medical School in Denver as well as other health professional schools have strong preceptor programs throughout the state.

In
Southeastern Colorado, SECAHEC participates

by identifying health care professionals throughout its region who are willing to serve in this capacity. Placement of students with preceptors is completed by the individual health professional programs based on student and preceptor schedules.

 

  In SECAHECs region alone, approximately 200 students each year spend a month in the program observing and learning from their preceptors.  The preceptors themselves may be eligible for continuing education credits and are also invited to the annual Colorado AHEC preceptor in Vail CO.              

 

  In addition to identifying potential preceptors, SECAHEC provides housing for  students while they are in the program. SECAHEC maintains a list of screened and available housing in host homes and in Pueblo and also owns an apartment building.  suitable for six students. Anyone interested in learning how to become a host home should contact the SECAHEC for more information on hosting medical students.             

 

   The SECAHEC office also services as a liaison for the students should they need other assistance.
