The Preceptorship program was started by ILADS to give physicians a hands-on training of the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease in Lyme literate doctors’ offices. The program is underwritten by a grant from Turn the Corner Foundation. To apply, first decide which category you fit into, complete the application, and return to ILADS. The form may be mailed to the ILADS office or faxed to 301-263-0776. Follow up with an e-mail or phone call. If you have a particular mentor in mind, you may contact that person to make informal arrangements while the application is under review. If not, indicate a geographical or philosophical preference. After the training, the physician must submit all pertinent paperwork.
