Texas Family Medicine
Preceptorship Program

Shaping the future of family medicine 

Step out of the classroom and into the exam room

The Texas Family Medicine Preceptorship Program is designed to match first- or second-year students enrolled in a Texas medical school with an experienced and skilled family physician for a two- to four-week period to help them gain real-life experience in a community setting. By participating in our preceptorship program, students will have the unique opportunity to explore what it means to be a family physician.


Medical students — 3 steps to TFMPP preceptorship

  1. Complete the application by clicking the TFMPP Portal button below.
  2. Upload a jpg of your student ID and a pdf of a letter of good standing from your medical school. You may submit your application without these documents but you will not be matched until we receive both items.
  3. Our coordinator will review your submission and contact you if there are any additional questions.
