As with any discipline, just cuz you're a veteran or highly proficient DOES NOT justify being assigned a teaching role. Expert educators are needed to train experts. There's no value in the harsh dynamic between the preceptor and orientee. Both need to reconsider their objectives: patient safety and therapeutic integrity obviously are the only real concerns; the rest is noise.
