title: Orientation and preceptorship: the new research clinician's lifeline.
abstract: To develop a quality program is a long process. One must understand the program to develop it. Administrative support is vital to a successful program. The practical collaborative approach to helping the new employee integrate into the work environment efficiently and effectively is a reward for both the preceptee, preceptor, manager and employer.
