Begun as a pilot project in 1992 with five medical students at one Texas medical school, it has grown to a participation of 180 medical students in 1999 and expanded to include students from all eight Texas medical schools. The grant funds provide for professional administration of the program, faculty development, reimbursement to the students for their expenses, recruitment efforts for both students and physician preceptors, and more. Participating students are usually completing their first or second year of medical school. The Preceptorship Program targets students early in their training in an effort to increase interest in internal medicine. Outcomes studies show that students are choosing careers in internal medicine following participation in an internal medicine preceptorship.
