Family Medicine Longitudinal Experience (FMLE)

Important Update

Reminder as of 2021, preceptors are no longer required to complete a first assignment on MedSIS. Your student will provide a self-evaluation along with their first assignment to provide formative feedback directly to your student, in preparation for their final assignment.

Thank you for agreeing to be a preceptor for the Family Medicine Longitudinal Experience (FMLE). Below you will find common resources you will need before, during and after your learner's block.

All MD Program teachers are asked to become familiar with the following resources when preparing for their teaching roles (1) Psychological Safety and (2) Learner Mistreatment.
