WHAT IF THERE’S A PROBLEM?
If there is a personality conflict – arrange for a new preceptor for the student, the sooner the better.
If it can wait – your evaluation will be read by school staff in less than 10 days.
If it is serious – you or your supervisor should contact the school as soon as possible.
If you are unsure – check with your supervisor or the school.
