| COMMUNITY PRECEPTORSHIP BACKGROUND |
The Community Preceptorship Taskforce was
established to assess student performance on core cancer
prevention and control competencies in clinical rotations.
This group is comprised of faculty members that are
responsible for various aspects of clinical education activities
at their institutions. The ongoing activities of this task force
have been to develop a comprehensive cancer specific health
assessment to help in the training of medical students in the
proper cancer prevention, detection and screening techniques; to
plan and deliver faculty training experiences; and to identify and
disseminate collateral resources to compliment and enhance
community-based clinical training opportunities.
This work stems from a series of community preceptor
resource modules to assist in the development and assessment of
learning activities in clinical ambulatory and primary care
settings, entitled, Resource
Modules for Community Preceptors and Undergraduate Medical
Students. The resource
modules are intended for use by community preceptors that
work with third-year medical students, as all eight medical
schools utilize community-based faculty for third year primary
care clerkships.
