ABSTRACT
Most hospitals, regardless of their size, are training sites for a wide variety of technicians and clinicians. The addition of medical residents to the mix is usually easily accommodated. However, the nature of their training usually requires a far more thorough orientation to a veritable labyrinth of programs and services. Having the physician preceptor intercede or assist in this orientation is not only important for your charge to have a good learning experience, but also for the safety of your patients.
