MMA and the University of Minnesota Medical School embarked on a partnership - the MMA Preceptor Initiative.
With guidance from the MMA Preceptor Initiative Advisory Group, the goal of this effort was to develop tools and resources to improve the training and support for clinical preceptors.
Background
In 2013, the MMA convened the MMA Primary Care Physician Workforce Advisory Task Force to explore ways to increase Minnesota’s primary care physician workforce.
One of the recommendations of the MMA’s Primary Care Physician Workforce Expansion Advisory Task Force was to increase the number of available clinical training sites in Minnesota and examine ways to remove barriers that exist, allowing medical students to have more meaningful experiences.
To begin this endeavor, MMA staff conducted interviews with health system leadership across the state to examine Minnesota’s clinical training sites more closely and assess how we can ensure that the capacity meets the current need.
After assessing the data and input from the interviews, the MMA and the University of Minnesota Medical School embarked on a partnership – The MMA Preceptor Initiative.
With guidance from the MMA Preceptor Initiative Advisory Group, the goal of this effort was to develop tools and resources to improve the training and support for clinical preceptors.
