PREP 2021 Preceptor Feasibility Survey |
PREP 2021 Program Information
Program Overview
The intent of this program is to provide U of S medical students between their second and third years of study with the opportunity to shadow a family physician in rural and/or remote communities in Saskatchewan.
Students will be exposed to medical practice areas outside of Saskatoon, Regina and Prince Albert to learn about the delivery of health care services while shadowing a family physician within the community. In addition, students will have the opportunity to expand their personal and professional network, explore the area and apply their clinical knowledge.

Placements are made following the application deadline. We try our best to accommodate students' community preferences however, as they are based on preceptor availability, we cannot guarantee a placement in any particular community. We will work to finalize placements throughout the months of February/March with dates to students in early April (earlier if possible). **these dates may change**
Extern’s Function
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.
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.
