Preceptor Benefits

Many Austin area physicians have helped UTMB this year by volunteering their time as preceptors to medical students and Residents.  Capital AHEC would like to remind UTMB preceptors of a few perks offered by the University.

UTMB Appointment
Preceptors who teach for the primary care 3rd year medical student clerkships will receive an appointment with UTMB as a Clinical Assistant Professor.  This appointment is reviewed annually and renewed as you continue to volunteer as a UTMB preceptor.

Category II CME
Every one hour of teaching time is equivalent to one hour of Category II CME. UTMB will send you a letter in August which will list the number of students you taught during the prior year and the number of hours you can self declare.

Moody Medical Library Access
Multiple online resources are available to preceptors who accept UTMB students throughout the current academic year. The Moody Medical Library offers physicians resources such as the Cochrane Library, MD Consult, and Harrison's Online. A form is required for access to the UTMB Library. Please contact Brian Sullivan for a copy of this form.

CME Opportunities
There are three annual primary care review courses conducted at UTMB in Galveston.  Complimentary registration fees are available on a first come first serve basis to UTMB preceptors.

Capital AHEC is very grateful to every healthcare worker that will give back to their profession by teaching the healthcare workers of tomorrow. Please contact us if you are interested in becoming a preceptor.
