PREP 2018 Program Information
Program Overview
The intent of this program is to provide a work experience for medical students between their second and third year of studies in their four year medical degree program.
The purpose of this work experience is to interest students in medical practice areas outside of Saskatoon, Regina and Prince Albert, where their services would be particularly useful. This will also familiarize the students with the practice conditions in these areas and to help the students establish contacts that will assist in their recruitment upon graduation.
It is also an excellent opportunity for students to apply their clinical knowledge.
Extern’s Function
The externship is intended to be a learning experience. The preceptor permits the extern, under direct supervision, to do only those procedures which he/she believes the extern to be capable of doing safely. More complicated or advanced procedures are to be demonstrated to the extern.
The medical staff is encouraged to allow the extern, whenever possible, to be the first contact of the patient. In such cases, the extern is to be expected to report his/her observations to the attending physician and discuss his/her recommendations regarding diagnostic procedures and required treatment.
Evaluation
A written evaluation from the student will be required at the end of the externship. The supervising physician will also be required to complete a brief evaluation of student performance. With consent from both parties, evaluations will be shared for present and future learning experience.
