preceptor
Hands-on training guide
A preceptor is a teacher or instructor, especially one who provides practical training in a professional field.
Medical students work under preceptors during clinical rotations; nursing students shadow preceptors in hospitals.
The term emphasizes hands-on mentorship rather than classroom instruction: Her preceptor taught her how to handle difficult patients.
