Involve office staff in developing the student’s agenda and make sure “office space” is allocated Make sure you introduce the student to office staff and your partners

Getting Started Publicize/post notices in the reception area that you are mentoring a medical student Review the criteria that need to be met in order for the student to receive credit (Baylor, TAMUHSC, and UTMB offer credit) Consider developing a “learning contract” with the student Discuss policy, ground rules, dress code, etc. with your student – and review your expectations for this experience Know that you can request proof of liability insurance which is provided by each student’s school Review your office procedures and patient care guidelines (refer to the full student orientation checklist for more – sent to you prior to this call)

During Preceptorship Inform your patients that you are teaching a student; ask for permission before bringing into examining room If the patient refuses student contact, have other activities planned for the student to do (videos, articles, research a case, or other colleagues to spend time with) Make sure your student is familiar with HIPAA Be realistic about how much you attempt to teach and how much you expect the student to learn!
