In the Department of Family Medicine, we strive to provide comprehensive educational support. This both optimizes the learning environment for our residents and helps identify those who may nee d additional support.
As a new resident, you will receive an orientation to the program and to the associated teaching sites. As part of this process, you will complete a self-assessment questionnaire, which provides the basis for an initial education plan.
Residents are each assigned a primary preceptor at the start of their residency to serve as a faculty advisor. Throughout your two-year program, you will meet regularly to discuss your progress. You will have the opportunity to request a primary preceptor who is not directly responsible for your assessment.
All residents will have a documented education plan, which will be reviewed at least twice yearly. This will help ensure that you stay on track to achieving both short- and long-term learning goals.
Preparation is key to success. You are expected to prepare for each rotation by reviewing rotation objectives and in-training assessment reports (ITARs). These are available in Entrada.
You are encouraged to reflect on your clinical activities and to document your reflections on a twice-weekly basis using Resident Field Notes. These are for your use only and are not used in your assessment.

The community preceptor is a skilled practitioner who supervises medical students and/or residents in a clinical setting to allow practical experience with patients. As a community preceptor, you’ll provide educational experiences consistent with the goals and aims of the Department of Family Medicine, The College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC) and the Max Rady College of Medicine, University of Manitoba.
Preceptors teach students at all levels of training:
Medical students consistently rate their Family Medicine clerkship experience as one of their best rotations. We attribute this to the warm welcome students on placement receive from our community preceptors.
To teach medical students, you must have full registration with The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba. Certification from The College of Family Physicians of Canada is not required but preferred.
We pay a stipend for each week of placement, though this is unlikely to be your motivation to mentor a student or resident. Most physicians become preceptors because they enjoy the camaraderie, appreciate the service the students and residents contribute to their practice and feel good about being involved in someone’s education and future career. We believe your relationship with our students and residents will be among the most rewarding of your professional life.
Preceptors receive:
