One-Minute Preceptor

Student Report to the Preceptor

Students are expected to formally present their patients to the preceptor. They may use a patient history form to help them collect, organize, and present the required clinical information. Students should not have to rely on this form for their presentation. The goal of doing formal presentations is to prepare the student for discussion of cases with colleagues and consultants. Students need to be able to present patient cases in a succinct and organized manner in 3-5-minutes.

Students should be able to answer questions about the history of present illness, review of systems, physical exam, differential diagnoses, assessment, and plan of care. Students should apply clinical management of common primary care problems that were learned in their didactic courses and past practicum experiences.
