The program covers 5 topics and involves small groups of 4-5 preceptors. Time committment is 3.5 hours every two months – 1hr live virtual session, 1hr online self-study, 1.5 hr social gathering to connect and work through cases. 

Recruitment occurs in the Spring and runs over the course of a year.
