Regarding the perception of precpetorship program for integrating the theory into practice, 5 (25%) strongly agreed, 10 (50%) only agreed, and 5 (25%) disagreed that their preceptor helped them to put theory into practice. 8 (40%) of the participants perceived that their preceptor was a stress reducer for them, 5 (25%)only agreed on this, 5 (25%) disagreed and only 2 (10%) strongly disagreed.
