Preceptor Development Program (PDP)

• State of California, Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development
  I have to say just having the materials to refer to and your office (which has been very helpful) has been a godsend…Our state is predicted to have a 20% growth by 2020 in the central valley-a large medically underserved area.
• Children's Hospital, Harvard University
  "Your Preceptor Development Program website was indeed very helpful to us! [It] has helped us to design our own curriculum."
• Perioperative Services, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
  "Sometimes it is not convenient to attend a live workshop, but rather to have just in time (JIT) material on hand. This website has been a great resource…we have fortified some of the weak points with content from you site (i.e. teaching at the bedside)."
• Preceptor Training, Health, NAIT, Edmonton, Alberta Canada
  "We have turned to this website on many occasions for content, for tools for the workshops we provide…as a reference for the preceptors we train. Time and again we have found your site to be the number one resource for this subject area."
• Office of Faculty Development, Department of Family Medicine, Northeaster Ohio Universities College of Medicine
  "We have benefited from your online materials in many ways. I regularly send a link to your website… Currently, your site is listed as a key resource."
• College of Health Sciences, Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ
  "I think the site is a wonderful tool… Thank you again for the excellent job that you did in putting it together."
• Community Clinical Education, University of Health Sciences, Kansas City, MO
  "We have used the materials provided by you and found them to be very beneficial… I personally have conducted over 20 presentations utilizing materials you have provided."
• Northeastern Ontario Medical Education Corporation (NOMEC), Health Sciences Education Resource Centre, Laurentian University
  "I personally have found the materials very useful. They provide excellent examples of the different ways the theoretical concepts can be applied in practice."
• Banner Desert Medical Center, Mesa, AZ
  "Preceptors are a critical link to the success of new orientees and to the climate of the work environment. Your information has been extremely useful in developing our preceptors to give accurate, honest and useful feedback. Your information on dealing with the difficult situation has been extremely useful in getting factual, objective data to support the preceptor's 'gut' feeling that something is not right."
• Nursing Education and Research, Gundersen Lutheran Medical Foundation, LaCrosse, WI
  "Though developed primarily for medical students in community settings, I soon realized that the same basic concepts could be used with nursing students in acute care. I contacted MAHEC and was told that I was able to use and adapt this work to best match our needs. I was sent all the information in various formats and did redesign several monographs and tools…to achieve my goals."
