The Program
What is A Day in the Life of a Preceptor?
In 2020, Dr. Meera Anand and Dr. Heather Buckley put in a proposal to the UBC Faculty of Medicine Strategic Investment Fund to create a teaching curriculum for family doctors, by family doctors. Since inception, the curriculum has been designed with input from family physicians from all over British Columbia. Each topic area has a family physician lead; the project team worked closely with each lead to create a curriculum that responded to the needs of community based family physicians. After a long labour of 18+ months, “A Day in the Life of a Preceptor” was born.

My Division is not listed as participating on the registration form. How do I get involved?
In order to register as a course participant, you must be part of a participating Division as this program is a partnership between UBC and the Divisions of Family Practice. If you think your Division might be interested, please get in touch with our Program Facilitators who would be delighted to speak with you.
What is the program schedule?
Each topic begins with a Live Virtual Meeting with real-time interaction between program facilitators and participants. These meetings are meant to engage and inspire your learning in the topic area. The first meeting (September 12) includes orientation and will run for 1.5 hours from 5:30pm – 7:00pm. The rest of the meetings will run for 1 hour from 5:30pm – 6:30pm on the days below. All Live Virtual Meeting will be on Tuesdays.

Next, you will complete an hour’s worth of Self-Paced E-Learning content on UBC’s online learning platform. Sounds fun, doesn’t it (we promise we really tried to make it fun and relevant)?
Finally, you will complete the topic by attending a Small Group Case-Based Learning Session hosted by your Division. You will have the opportunity to interact and discuss case scenarios with your peers in an informal and relaxed way.
