The amount of hands-on experience may be limited on some clinical rotations as Cornell must first meet the practical experience requirements of its residents, interns and students. Throughout the preceptor program, all preceptors will be exposed to a variety of cases and learning opportunities, using observation techniques when hands-on work is not possible. Although it is our intent to offer the most complete experience possible, we cannot guarantee fulfillment of all check off items listed on the student's task list.
Each 6-week rotation will offer preceptors opportunities to work closely with a team of staff and students in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
