Preceptorship is a form of clinical teaching where a more experienced healthcare professional, known as a preceptor, serves as a mentor or guide to a less experienced student or new practitioner. The preceptor helps the student or new practitioner develop their clinical skills, knowledge, and professional judgment in a real-world clinical setting. Preceptorship is commonly used in fields such as nursing, medicine, pharmacy, and social work to facilitate the transition from academic training to professional practice. The goal of preceptorship is to provide hands-on learning experiences, support, and feedback to help the learner become a competent and confident healthcare provider.
