Potential Barriers. Lack of time for residents to precept within the residency structure Lack of availability of preceptors to mentor residents throughout experience Lack of preceptor continuity to mentor residents’ over time  Most Common Reported in Survery

Potential Strategies.  Utilize preceptor development plans for residents  Implementing a point system to gauge resident preparedness to serve as primary preceptor  Provide opportunities for residents to give feedback to students  Utilize rubrics for assessing micro performance skills. 3.
