Abstract

The preceptor, preceptee and the faculty plays an important part in student’s learning and contribute towards role transition. Therefore, it is essential that all three of them work in collaboration, extend their support and have well developed understanding to make the experience meaningful. In my paper to follow, I will discuss the background and significance of preceptorship and its application in clinical practice. Integrate the Synergy model of preceptorship for learning and care. Later in the paper, I will discuss the roles and functions of the preceptor, challenges, training needs, and the benefits of preceptorship model at the organization level.
