sist of 9 on-line, self-directed units of learning and builds on
the earlier edition and its success in providing education to
preceptors and students for the past 8 years. Each module
can be completed on its own in approximately 30 to 40
minutes and includes the following topics:
Orientation and Preparation •

The second edition of PEP is currently being piloted
with 100 students and preceptors, after which the modules
will be tweaked, taking into account the feedback we re-
ceive. Thank you to all who have supported the existing
program and look for the new edition to be fully accessible
by January, 2016!
