Family Medicine Preceptor

Location: 6100 Pan American Freeway NE Albuquerque, NM 87109

Type of Opportunity: Full time FTE: 1.00

Summary: As a regular preceptor for family medicine residents, attending physicians will create a supportive educational environment that is evidence-based and consistent with current guidelines. They will review each patient case with resident physicians and guide them to deliver the most appropriate care in addition to supporting them with in-basket management. They will typically be scheduled to precept one day per week.

Job Description: Preceptors are expected to precept on average one day per week, but can precept more. If they are not scheduled to precept once a week, they may be asked to help with didactics or other resident education and/or make up their session at a later date. Preceptors are expected to be ready to precept at the start of the clinic (8am and 1pm). Even though residents will not have patients to staff, yet they may have questions about upcoming patients or about their inbox messages. Preceptors should stay at least until the end of the clinic (12pm/5pm) and should not leave until all patients have been staffed. If at the end of clinic there are a small number of residents remaining with precepting needs, and more than 1 preceptor present, preceptors can decide together who should stay late. Preceptors should sign off on notes in a timely manner, in alignment with departmental/clinic documentation guidelines. Preceptors should fill out one New Innovations daily clinic evaluation for a resident every time they precept and aim to give in person feedback to that resident about the evaluation. Preceptors are required to see all intern patients in person through the first 6 months of their training and should be available to see patients as needed for clinical care and education. Preceptors should also see the following patients: 1) level 4 visits 2) hospital discharges 3) well child checks 4) patients the residents are requesting be seen. Residents should staff all prenatal patients prior to the patient leaving. Preceptors should be engaged in precepting as the priority for that time: if they are catching up on other work (eg email, clinic messages) please make sure residents know they can interrupt preceptors with their needs. Preceptors should not schedule any meetings during precepting time. Preceptors should avoid scheduling their own patients during this time, though can be available to clinic staff for emergencies and/or urgent triages. If a resident is significantly behind when seeing patients (>1 hour), preceptors should get actively involved in troubleshooting.
