Didactic instruction is provided in classroom sessions that accompany clinical preceptorships. Students are expected to take an active role in their learning. Because didactic instruction and clinical precepting occur simultaneously, students will not have a great fund of knowledge during the early weeks in the precepted experience. If you are precepting a student from the Clarion, Edinboro, and Slippery Rock Universities program, the instructor for the course in which the student is enrolled will send you a letter describing the course and the objectives that are to be met during the clinical experience.
