Responsibilities of Preceptors

In Fiscal Year 2010, more than 300 medical students, PA students, college students, advanced practice nursing students and others served clinical rotations in WellStar facilities.
The Medical Staff office processes these students to be certain that they are properly screened and oriented. Preceptors must sign a request form for each student that outlines the responsibilities of the preceptor. These preceptor request forms are available under the Medical Staff tab on eSource. When on eSource, go to Departments, then Medical Staff, then Forms. Forms and other materials needed to process students must be received in the Medical Staff office at least 15 days prior to the start of any rotation. All students must wear their WellStar student badge while in WellStar facilities. Badges are issued by Security only after all processing is completed.  For information contact Jan Hopkins in the Medical Staff office at jan.hopkins@wellstar.org or Don Campbell, M.D., at don.campbell@wellstar.org.
