Who is a "preceptor"?
A preceptor is a person who provides guidance and mentorship to students or trainees, often in professional or clinical settings. Preceptors are typically experienced professionals in fields like medicine, nursing, or law, and they help less-experienced individuals apply their knowledge in real-world situations. Unlike traditional teachers, preceptors focus on practical training and hands-on experience, offering feedback, teaching skills, and ensuring that students or trainees meet professional standards. Their role is essential in helping individuals transition from theoretical learning to actual practice in their chosen careers.
