What is the difference between a preceptor and a mentor?
Preceptors are your supervisors. However, one of the goals of the on-site enrichment experience to provide students with the opportunity to develop mentors that are practicing within the health care profession. SEP will provide tools and materials to help interns progress in their relationships with their preceptors so that SEP preceptors become SEP mentors. Many students also take advantage of the opportunity to develop mentoring relationships with other leaders throughout the organization who may also become long-term mentors.
