title: Student preceptorships--a factor in alleviating maldistribution of health professionals?
abstract: The maldistribution of health professionals between metropolitan and rural areas is a well-documented fact. The preceptorship has been hypothesized as a means of alleviating this problem. Upon completion of a preceptorship in radiologic technology, the students completed a questionnaire concerning values and interpretations derived from the preceptorship. This paper describes the results of the preceptorship and questionnaire.
