- OU-COM/CORE Clinical and Community Experiences (CCE) Note:
Dear Clinical Preceptors for MS 1 and 2,
Thanks so much for all the work you have done to prepare first-and second-year students for upcoming clinical rotations, residency programs and careers as physicians!
Drafts of fall quarter CCE schedules will be coming in August. One hundred and forty (up from 120) students are entering the program this year, so please let Mike Yeager know as soon as possible if any of the times we have scheduled for you to be in clinic with students are not acceptable - it helps to have advance notice when rescheduling becomes necessary. If a student is scheduled to be with you and does not attend, a call to Mike to let him know is also very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Sarah McGrew, BSN, Director and Mike Yeager, Admin Coordinator

- Faculty Development Note: Preceptor Checklists
Summer is a special time for medical educators...out with the newly minted and in with the uninitiated. Speaking of the uninitiated - how prepared are you to take them on? If you don't already have a good plan here are few checklists to help. These checklists have been from the precepting literature and compiled against the three main preceptor expectations: orientation, teaching and feedback. I recommend you compare your practices to the items in the checklist and see if there is something you'd like to change for this coming crop.
Thank you for your work in medical education! Your efforts are magnified to infinity as you pour into the next generation of DOs!
