Strategies for Teaching Medical Students: A Faculty Development Workshop for Pediatric Preceptors in the Community Setting.

ABSTRACT:

An increasing number of medical students complete clerkships outside of traditional university-affiliated medical centers despite little faculty development geared specifically for the community preceptor. Moreover, the community setting presents a unique set of challenges, including fewer educational resources, greater expectation of clinical productivity, and a wide geographic distribution of preceptors.

Then, participants discussed approaches to strengthen the students' learning experience in small-group
