Our preceptors are community-based licensed physicians who are uniquely qualified to teach and mentor Maryland medical students. You can give back and shape the future of medicine by helping recruit health care professionals to serve on the Eastern Shore!
Through our Preceptorship Rotation Engagement Program (PREP), we continue to coordinate arrangements for clinical rotations for Introduction to Clinical Medicine 4th year students (ICM IV) and Primary Care Track (PCT) based on student(s) assignments, preceptor availability and housing needs.
Health care workers often return to practice where they trained, and students learn from experience that it’s rewarding to work in underserved areas. That’s why AHEC connects young people, students and practicing professionals to training opportunities with minority and disadvantaged populations, in rural areas such as the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Through the Preceptorship Rotation Engagement Program, ESAHEC connects students to professionals making a difference in public health.
Partnering with medical and other health professions schools, we connect students with dedicated preceptors for a four-week rural medicine experience. Allowing health professionals to share their knowledge and experience in the context of their day-to-day practice.
*Tax credits of $1,000 are issued per eligible rotation. A minimum of three rotations of 100 hours each required. Please see Maryland Preceptor Tax Credit Information webpage.
This program authorizes a credit against the state income tax for individuals who have served as a preceptor in certain preceptorship programs and work in certain areas of the state with a health care workforce shortage.
