Each year the College of Medicine and the UK Area Health Education Center recognize a voluntary faculty preceptor that demonstrates commitment to providing quality education for UK medical students. Selection for this award is based on medical student evaluations, feedback from regional AHEC centers, and/or faculty recommendation. The UK Voluntary Faculty Program is exactly that, a program that consists of health care providers that voluntarily open their practices to enhance our medical student’s clinical experience.
