This presentation will introduce strategies, resources, and incentives for precepting. The ideas and resources were developed and/or compiled to address not only the difficulty in finding clinical training sites but also the quality of education taking place in these environments. Upon completing this session, participants should be able to: access resources to enhance their teaching skills; connect with medical schools within the state to develop mutually beneficial teaching relationships; and integrate students into clinical workflow. This program is in collaboration with the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine Teachers (STFM) for the ACOFP Clinical Preceptor Education Series. Assess current barriers to recruiting or retaining preceptors for learners in Family Medicine.

Learning Objectives:

• Strategize ways that students can add value to your clinical practice or setting.
• Identify resources from the Society of Teacher of Family Medicine to decrease the administrative burden of teaching and better prepare students for clinical rotations.
• Connect with medical schools to develop mutually beneficial teaching relationships.
