Have you considered the impact of your preceptor model on productivity?
Yes. Because a preceptor model is similar to training new staff, most clinical sites are already well versed with this process. Initially, in both instances, productivity is challenged; but, as more skills are added, the students become more helpful. Providers can give critical feedback to support the students’ experience all along the way. Many of our externship partners have found this time investment valuable, as they don't need to retrain NIMAA MAs who they may hire post-program on their internal practices.
