It's essential to approach this experience with empathy, compassion, and a commitment to patient well-being.

Throughout your time here, expect to be actively involved with patients. This includes attending rounds, participating in assessments, and observing or assisting with various treatment modalities. Your involvement will not only enrich your learning but also contribute to the holistic care of our patients.
Remember, this preceptorship is a two-way learning experience. While you will gain valuable knowledge and skills, we also value your fresh perspectives and enthusiasm. Your input and questions can spark meaningful discussions and promote continuous improvement in our practice.
