Abstract
Precepting is a method used to improve clinical competency. Each precepting session involves direct observation and feedback of a trainee's clinical consultation by a faculty member. In primary care specialty where doctors work in isolation through most of their career, precepting during traineeship offers a unique opportunity to enhance performance and address deficiencies in the training of primary care doctors. This study aimed to explore the primary care trainees' experience in precepting.
