tbingold Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Good afternoon, I am looking to find potential preceptors in Phoenix, Arizona preferably in neurology, neurosurg, or trauma. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to reach out to Docs who may be interested in taking on a student?? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badwolf Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 You can join ASAPA and do a member search. Your search can be narrowed to members who are willing to be preceptors and by specialty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torshi Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Isn't that considered soliciting? - contacting preceptors that you don't know personally? The reason why I ask is because our program considers it that and they say it may affect our accreditation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I ask is because our program considers it that and they say it may affect our accreditation That's a new one. They tell you any more details about how it can affect their accreditation? Where do they draw the line on personally knowing the preceptor? That seems like it could be a gray area.

So, if you absolutely don't know the preceptor then we can't personally nor the program contact them to ask them to precept a student. It's like knocking on the door of someone's house and asking. If we do know the preceptor, we give the information to the rotation coordinator and they contact them personally to set things up. That's what we've been told. We had a few students threatened w/ expulsion d/t finding out that the preceptor didn't DIRECTLY know the student. Can't even do it if a family member or significant other knows of a preceptor, it still wouldn't fly. The reason why I posted is because that's all i see on PA boards and FB pages - students from other programs able to do what we can't. Just my 2 cents from what I've witnessed.

Ga.23 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I used to work as a tech in the Peds ER at Cardons Children/Banner Desert Medical Center. While I was there they were accepting PA students! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
