Preceptor Benefits

Continuing Education
Every hour devoted to teaching is equivalent to one hour of Category II CME.

Awards for Excellence
Each year Texas AHEC East - Capital Region will select a group of preceptors to receive an award for excellence in teaching.

If you serve as a preceptor to students from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB), additional benefits include:

UTMB Appointment
Every primary care physician who teaches for the third year clerkships will be reviewed by the respective UTMB department and considered for an appointment as a clinical assistant professor. This appointment is reviewed annually and renewed as you continue to volunteer as a UTMB preceptor.

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. To request access, complete the form and return it to the UTMB Office of Clinical Education (OCE) via fax at (409) 772-6565.

Category I CME Opportunities
Each year UTMB conducts workshops in both Galveston and Austin. These events are offered free or at a discounted rate to community preceptors. UTMB will notify preceptors as events are scheduled and send information on how to register. Please respond quickly to event invitations if you would like to attend, as space is often limited.
