Although modern technology can change the way in which students acquire knowledge and skills there is no substitute for a true mentor. In medicine perhaps more than in any other profession our mentors have always enjoyed a special place in our hearts and minds. Although some professional athletes may contend that ""I am not a role model"" there is no doubt where you and I as preceptors stand on this issue. We are role models. We are mentors and upon us falls the responsibility to prepare tomorrow's physicians for careers in public service that we can only begin to comprehend.' James Stageman in the Foreword
