ABSTRACT
E-mail Because so much medical information is available in the form of electronic journal articles and through online databases, e-mail is a convenient way to share that information among colleagues. Most sponsoring institutions issue a uni versity e-mail account to new residents when they begin their residency. If a preceptor intends to communicate with her residents via e-mail, she should:
1 clarify which e-mail address the resident prefers 2 explicitly inform the resident of her communication expectations.
