FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
![Page 25: Georgia Preceptor Tax Incentive Program (GA-PTIP):](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032805/5681329b550346895d993695/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Can the Educational Program Register the Preceptor?
Ideally, they should not. Programs can direct preceptors to the website to provide their information directly.
![Page 26: Georgia Preceptor Tax Incentive Program (GA-PTIP):](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032805/5681329b550346895d993695/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Do specialty rotations count toward deductions (e.g. NICU/ Nursery,
Orthopedics, etc)?
Only if these experiences are part of a core rotation (e.g. Pediatrics, General Surgery)
![Page 27: Georgia Preceptor Tax Incentive Program (GA-PTIP):](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032805/5681329b550346895d993695/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Would the individual receive full credit for precepting a student if the student rotates with more than one
provider in that clinic?
The deduction can be rotated among partners, apportioned among them, or claimed by one. Whatever is decided, the academic program must report it as such.
![Page 28: Georgia Preceptor Tax Incentive Program (GA-PTIP):](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032805/5681329b550346895d993695/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Will you provide an overview letter for physicians or can the educational institutions send the information
received today to their preceptors?
You are welcome to communicate this information to your preceptors directly. Some brochures have been developed that you can download and send from your offices if so desired.
![Page 29: Georgia Preceptor Tax Incentive Program (GA-PTIP):](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032805/5681329b550346895d993695/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
If a student only needs 80 hours, will that count as a rotation?
No. However, those 80 hours would be recorded and if you precepted another student for 80 hours they would be added together to give you one rotation.
