This is the largest component of your grade. The best way to do well here is not to focus on how well you are doing, but rather to focus on what you are doing. Focus on caring for your patients the best way you can. Some of the specific actions involved in taking good care of patients will comprise the preceptor evaluation form; a copy is enclosed. You should be able to tell easily which behaviors are desirable and which are not. Do the desirable things; avoid doing the undesirable things.
