Once all paperwork is received and approved, the Medical Education Coordinator will contact you and issue clearance to begin your clinical rotation.

    Step 4: Surgical Orientation (if applicable) 

    Preceptorships with a surgeon require the completion of an Operating Room (OR) Orientation.  Please contact Susan Lynch at [email protected] to schedule. Depending on availability, the orientation may be scheduled for your first scheduled day when planned in advance. Following successful completion of the OR Orientation, Susan will sign the designated area on the Preceptorship Agreement.
