We Offer Extensive Support
We truly value the preceptors who instruct the medical students and residents who participate in our program. Before pairing you with a learner, we will credential the learner and secure their hospital privileges. To prevent burnout, we will make an extensive effort to ensure that you are matched with a variety of different learning levels and given adequate breaks between each rotation.

About Practical Doc
Practical Doc was formed in response to the ongoing need to provide practicing rural physicians with a place where they can access online skills, resources, and support. More than a clearinghouse for content, Practical Doc merges the needs of a physician who may be looking for information with the support that can be sometimes hard to find when working in a rural community.
