Medical Student Education
Welcome, Family Medicine Preceptors
As a community preceptor, you are a vital part of our mission to educate medical students to support primary care in Minnesota. Preceptors have a strong influence on their students selecting primary care. We welcome enthusiastic community family physician mentors to help us improve the shortage of medical students going into primary care and to reach a goal of 25 percent of students choosing family medicine by 2030.
