Preceptor Roles & Responsibilities
Any residency program attending the conference to have their residents present research is expected to have at least one program preceptor or program director in attendance. The ESC Advisory Board feels this is an important expectation for programs in order to provide support for their residents, to assist with evaluating and moderating the presentations, and to provide opportunity for preceptor development.
Leading up to the meeting, program preceptors and program directors should encourage their PGY1 residents to submit their project for platform presentation and PGY2 residents to submit their project for poster presentation. In addition, any abstract submitted by a PGY1 resident, PGY2 resident, or fellow should be reviewed and approved by a program preceptor or program director. Information about the expectations for abstract submissions are located on the resident information page.
In addition, all preceptors should expect to be assigned to serve as a moderator or evaluator at the Conference. Descriptions of the expectation of these roles can be found by reviewing the document links below. The schedule for preceptors, who will be evaluating and moderating the various sessions, will be available in before the Conference. The Advisory Board members will make every effort possible to avoid scheduling conflicts between moderator/evaluator duties and your own resident presentations. Resources for preceptors to learn more about the responsibilities of serving as a moderator or evaluator can be found below:
