hehe. the hospital I'm at doesnt use preceptors for their students. They simply use the educators, who have too big a task on their hands, and there are a lot of unhappy midwifery students not returning after the course.
I've previously always worked in systems that use the preceptor program, so I'm just trying to gather some  current data to put a case together to encourage them.
 
I understand  entirely why you think you're missing something. It's inconceivable to think of life without a personal helper or two to get you through your course!

Pardon my ignorance, but what other method is there for midwife students to gain clinical experience than preceptorship?
 
Since I can't think of any other methods, I can't think of how or why research would be done to support or not support it.
 
I feel like I'm missing something :o)

Robin, are you after references in terms of research evidence or in terms of what other hospitals are doing?
 
I'm a 2nd year Bachelor of Midwifery student @ VU in Melbourne.  I did my last set of clinical placements @ Werribee-Mercy hospital & was most impressed with their preparation for us, which included an extensive "manual" for us.
 
(03) 9216 8888 is the phone for the switchboard 7 ask for Clinical Midwifery Educators.
 
Hope this helps!
