title: Precepting an unsafe student: the role of the faculty.
abstract: According to a recent study, one of the central findings indicated that preceptors require significantly more support than they are currently receiving from faculty especially when precepting a student who is engaging in unsafe practice. In this grounded theory study, 22 preceptors were interviewed. The findings reveal some interesting implications not only regarding the staffing of preceptorship programs but also the process of preparing faculty as to how to provide preceptors with sufficient and appropriate support throughout the preceptorship experience.
