Preceptor Payments
By agreeing to teach a McMaster University medical student or postgraduate trainee (resident), you have joined a strong and dedicated network of health professionals supporting a high-quality, community-based clinical education program within the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine.
Community preceptors are physicians in the community who offer rich and varied learning environments for medical learners. They are critical to the sustainability of medical education in smaller urban and rural communities. McMaster University values these contributions, and through funding from the Ministry of Health is able to provide a stipend to community preceptors for eligible teaching activities.
The Mac-CARE Program does not fund the following teachers and/or teaching activities:
- Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) trainees including Residents (PGY) and Clinical Fellows (CF).
- Anatomists, Social Workers, Nurse Practitioners, Physiotherapists etc.
- Non-clinical activities (i.e., research or reading).
