Become a Preceptor
Boston University needs your help training tomorrow’s physicians!
A strong Family Medicine/primary care workforce is at the core of all excellent healthcare systems. At the Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine we provide students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to make them physicians in all fields who understand and respect the value of Family Medicine, provide the highest quality evidence-based care, and have a strong understanding of what a well-designed healthcare system is. This is how we will transform healthcare and ultimately health in our country.
If you are a family doctor interested in helping us train the next generation of physicians, we invite you to learn more and consider mentoring third year Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine Family Medicine clerks during their required six-week Family Medicine Clerkship.
The Family Medicine clerkship at BU is consistently highly rated by our students, due to the outstanding clinical experiences obtained while working alongside their preceptors. Our clinical sites run the gamut from solo practices to group practices and community health centers, and our preceptors universally value the experience of having clerkship students in the office with them.
Additional perks that we can provide to you:
- Free unlimited use of the Boston University medical library resources including DynaMed and other excellent point of care online and mobile resources
- Free access to our App, The BUSM Finding Information Framework. You can search for it in the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, and use it as an easy portal to get right into our recommended information resources. Learn more.
- Boston University School of Medicine faculty appointment
- Free and discounted CME through Boston University
