STFM is pleased to offer this educational tool for you and your volunteer preceptors. The Teaching Physician is a quarterly newsletter designed to provide teaching tips to your community preceptors. The newsletter will be sent quarterly to subscribers electronically as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file (July, October, January, and April) and is intended to be forwarded by your department (either electronically or in print) to your community preceptors.

We recognize the importance of providing training for family medicine’s cadre of volunteer faculty. This quick and easy to digest Teaching Physician newsletter compiles relevant training material that you can provide to your preceptors. Add your own departmental news and information in the body of the e-mail and you’ve got a personalized document that provides teaching tips and keeps your volunteer faculty abreast of activities within your department.
