Rewarding experience educating students and earning CME credits at the same time. Many of these activities can take place in your practice location

Physicians can participate as a “preceptor” for our medical students during clerkship rotations. Each preceptor can earn 1 CME credit for each hour spent teaching the student. (4 week rotation = 160 hours of CME). CME information is extracted from the “Student Performance Evaluation Form” submittied by each physician upon completetion of a rotation.

¶Ù°¿â€™s: Receive Category 1B CME for their participation as a Preceptor. A report is submitted to the AOA on their behalf on a quarterly basis. An official CME letter is available upon request.

MD’s: Receive Category 2 CME for their participation as a Preceptor. An official CME letter is distributed to all MD’s. They can also use these letters to “self-report” their CME to their respective associations.

For more information on becoming a Preceptor, please contact Colleen Galindo at (909) 469-5477 or cgalindo@westernu.edu
