Why serve as a UAB Family Medicine Preceptor?

Family Medicine providers who serve as preceptors for students in the Department of Family and Community Medicine share in the rich tradition of role modeling and mentorship in medical education. This is your opportunity to shape the next generation of physicians, give back to the profession, and serve in the role that many other physicians served in your own medical training. Individual preceptors are highly valued as they heavily influence a student's choice of family medicine as a career. Serving as a UAB Family Medicine preceptor is a unique and meaningful opportunity for you to act as a role model in a field you are passionate about while also caring for the patients you serve.

Family Medicine providers who serve as a preceptor also receive several benefits above and beyond the intrinsic satisfaction of providing up-to-date learning experiences for our future physicians.
