Physician Preceptor Program

In an effort to acquaint community members with the daily lives of physicians, Dr. Robert Coleman developed the Physician Preceptor Program in May of 1992. Dr. Art Snow serves as chairman today.

That first program had eight business and community leaders as participants. Now 24 years after the program's inception, this year’s program had fifteen preceptors participate, including representatives from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid in Baltimore.

As part of the experience in the Physician Preceptor Program, each participant follows physicians in one of four different setting as they go through the routine of their day. Additionally, participants may spend time in the emergency, radiology and surgery department.

The participating physicians and hospitals have been very generous in allowing the program participants to view and experience caregiving. The Medical Society of Johnson & Wyandotte Counties is fortunate to enjoy the cooperative spirit that exists among its physicians and these outstanding hospitals.
