Clinical Preceptorship Experience
During my clinical rotations with preceptors I saw a wide variety of patients. I was fortunate enough to work in many different settings from large clinics and hospitals to small community clinics. I participated in everything from primary care concerns to assisting in deliveries in an out of hospital setting. The majority of my time was focused on annual exams, STI screening and treatment, reproductive health care, and management of other gynecological needs.
