Preceptor and...

We have teacher/student, mentor/mentee, master/apprentice, knight/squire, etc. There has to be some kind of cool word to go along with "preceptor" other than reusing "student." Any takers?😕

Still paying tuition to your school? You're still a student.

It's called "intern".

I prefer "Useless hop-a-long."

like I said elsewhere, I call my students minions.

That's at least an interesting name. I mean, preceptor is a cool title, seems like there should be a decent name for the counterpart. Hell, I'd even take underling, neophyte, or page.

For those who have never had the privilege of being a preceptor, remember the words of Rabbi Chanina:

.Much have I learned from my teachers, more from my colleagues than my teachers, but most from my students I have learned the most..​

my experience has definitely been as a "side-kick". But it's different depending on your situation.

I agree. It's "Preceptor" vs. "Intern." Or, if intern is too short for you, then you could always say "student intern" or "pharmacist intern."

That's pretty much it. You can always bastardize the language and try to make up a new term like "preceptee" (which sounds just as bad as mentee), or you could just buddy up with the preceptor and use military ranks. I like to call them Captain.

To date, they call me "rookie."

I feel kind of insulted that you linked a definition, although the coolness of the site make up for it. I like that they reference other books and games as well.
