This report of the development, implementation and evaluation of a multidisciplinary clinical preceptorship in geriatric health care for preclinical students. Though the collaboration of two postsecondary schools, students and faculty from four health care disciplines were represented in the preceptorship. Students attended didactic presentations, reviewed cases, and, in multidisciplinary teams of three and four, rotated through 13 clinical and community based sites which represented a broad array of services to the aged. Evaluation of the preceptorship by students, faculty, and site supervisors was very positive. The issues faced in developing and presenting multidisciplinary training of this nature are discussed.
