PCC Rotation begins next week

Dear PCC Preceptor,

Thank you for serving as a preceptor for a third year PCC UWSMPH medical student. Students consistently rank their time spent with preceptors as the highlight of the Primary Care Clerkship. This is the first of a series of weekly e-mails you will receive to optimize the time you spend with your student. If you have any questions, comments or concerns during the rotation please feel free to contact:

• Claire Ann Boyce, PCC Coordinator (Claire.boyce@fammed.wisc.edu),
• John Brill, MD, MPH Acting PCC Director (john.brill.md@aurora.org),
• Or your regional director/coordinator.

Week 0 Key Task: Prepare for Orientation. Your regional coordinator should have contacted you with the student's schedule by now. We have put together a quick presentation with tips on how to orient the student to your office.
