Rewarding facility preceptors.
Facility preceptors contribute greatly to the education of students in health professions by serving as role models, mentors, and instructors. Helping to educate students means added responsibilities to an already busy schedule, while rewards are often intangible. The authors describe usual preceptor benefits and explore possibilities for more tangible rewards which can be cost efficient and stimulate preceptor interest and enthusiasm. Suggestions are applicable in any allied health program.
