Reception Recognizes Preceptors for Their Important Role in Medical Education
31 Area Physicians Were Hailed for 15 to 35 Years of Service
The Office of Medical Education paid tribute to preceptors who welcome medical students into their private practices, hospitals, clinics, and a variety of other settings during the Preceptor Awards Reception on June 4 in the Clinical Skills and Simulation Center. This year’s event recognized 31 area physicians who marked milestones from 15 years of service up to an impressive 35 years of service to SOM students.
“Because of the pandemic, it has been five years since the last gathering, and we were so excited to be able to come together again to show appreciation for all the incredible work so many of our preclinical preceptors have been doing for so long,” said Jeanne Wilson, M.D., Phase 1 curriculum co-director. “The preclinical preceptor program provides such an important opportunity for the M2 students to transition their skills from the classroom to actual clinical practice. Through their feedback, many have commented on what an amazing experience they have had and how much they have learned, all made possible by the commitment the preclinical preceptors have to the NYMC students.”
