Activity Overview 

The critical contributions that preceptors and experiential education make to Professional Identity Formation (PIF) are increasingly recognized. PIF is the process that involves incoporating and embodying the attitudes, values, and behaviors that represent a professional member of a community beyond professional characteristics. Information, including best teaching practices, will be shared on how preceptors can promote PIF. This activity is designed to orient preceptors to PIF and equip them with tools to intentionally design their learning experiences to promote PIF.
