Dear Preceptor,

As a preceptor affiliated with the VCU Department of Family Medicine, you are allowed privileges to the VCU Libraries Resources.  The library has created a Research Guide organizing many of these resources in one accessible source.  The link to this page is: http://guides.library.vcu.edu/family-med-preceptors/


To navigate this page, there are yellow tabs at the top of the guide (underneath the research guide title).  Each of these tabs links to a page of important resources for your professional practice and preceptorship. 

  • The “Home” page consists of links to the most popular resources, the Ask-A-Librarian form and information about personalized services offered at the library.
  • The “Using the Library” page contains a brief explanation and videos on how to use the VCU Libraries.
  • The “Preceptor Information” page links to free articles about preceptorship, mentoring and the practice of Family Medicine.
  • The “Articles and Databases” page includes key journals in Family Medicine along with databases to search for articles and point-of-care materials.
  • The “Books” page locates specific books and e-books on preceptorship as well as links to our extensive e-books collections.
  • The final resource tab is “Websites” which directs you to free resources available from the government and Family Medicine organizations. 

    If you find an important Family Medicine resource is missing from this page or have any other comments or questions regarding the VCU Libraries, please use the “Feedback” tabs to let us know.
