The Master Preceptor Fellowship Pilot Study is a prospective cohort study that is being conducted to measure changes in participant knowledge, teaching efficacy, leadership skills, job satisfaction and quality of life.
The Master Preceptor Fellows are physicians or physician assistants who have worked in primary care setting for a minimum of one year. The participants agree to participate in a 52-week (1-year) program designed to enhance the primary care physician's knowledge and skills via self-directed and didactic coursework along with a transformational community-based project. The culmination of the mentorship, leadership, and educational experiences gained in the Master Preceptor Fellowship (MPF) will allow the primary care physician champion to apply his or her innovative response to an identified need in their community.
