## Resource

In this episode of the UCM Podcast, Dr. Bill Davis walks chiropractic students through the three critical steps to landing a great preceptor position—one that builds confidence, skill, and long-term career momentum rather than regret. Drawing from his own difficult preceptorship experience, Dr. Davis explains why a preceptor position should be viewed as career training, not just a graduation requirement. He emphasizes the importance of clarity around career goals, positioning yourself as a future doctor rather than a desperate student, and gaining access to the right opportunities through relationships and intentional networking. The episode also highlights common mistakes students make—such as waiting too long, prioritizing pay over mentorship, and ignoring culture fit—and provides actionable resources to help students transition successfully from student to doctor.
