I understand how you might have misconstrued that piece of it. It's not about not wanting to be a preceptor. In fact, the majority of our dieticians in the workforce survey said that, yes, they had been preceptors at some point. All of us really do enjoy having students, but we know that the system within which we work—this publicly funded health system—judges our profession and funds our work by productivity output statistics.
We are simply caught between a rock and a hard place, in that our departments—our professional contribution in the systems—have to keep up certain productivity statistics while we are preceptoring. That doesn't even account for the coordination of these students within a little system. So there might be six students running around in the hospital or a community program. Who is coordinating them? Who is directing where their placements are going? All of this takes time.
So, in essence, the problem is that there is no funded time to do the preceptoring that the professional people very much enjoy doing. You don't enjoy it when your work is piling up and you essentially have to stay for unpaid overtime. It's a real problem that way.
