Rural Clinical Experiences
There are many great reasons to become a preceptor with RUUTE & Regional Affairs and to teach students during their clinical experiences. Most preceptors, patients, and staff find interacting with medical students to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Additionally, our medical students love the opportunity to expand their education and work in the community under the supervision of one of our community preceptors. To take on and educate students, community preceptors will need to receive adjunct status. Each department retains the authority to determine adjunct status; however, RUUTE & Regional Affairs assist in the process.
If you are a preceptor interested in taking a student, reach out to Randy.Hansen@hsc.utah.edu
