Preceptors: At the Heart of Imani Clinic

Please click here to download a copy of Imani Clinic's 2004 preceptor newsletter.

Without a doubt, Imani's volunteer preceptors are at the heart of all clinic operations. If no preceptor is on site, patients cannot be seen, and this is a significant detriment to many members of the Oak Park community who rely on us as their primary source of health care. Unfortunately, Imani Clinic has been experiencing a severe shortage of preceptors and, as a result, we have had to close our doors a number of times over the past couple of years.

Therefore, we are always seeking new preceptors, and your help would be very much appreciated!

All volunteer physicians are covered by malpractice insurance provided by the UC Davis School of Medicine, as outlined by the Vice-Dean for Medical Education, Dr. Michael Wilkes. To become eligible, please download and fill out the short PDF application below (two pages):

If you have any questions, please contact the undergraduate preceptor coordinator, Tiffany Young: tmyoung@ucdavis.edu.

The time commitment to precept at Imani would be 1-4 Saturdays a year, with very flexible scheduling. We would greatly appreciate your help in providing a consistent resource to address the preventive and episodic primary healthcare needs of the African American community!
