This includes understanding and living out the College’s mission, vision, and values.  Our preceptors should demonstrate a desire and aptitude for teaching in the clinical/experiential setting, including the important roles necessary for teaching clinical problem solving such as: instructing, modeling, coaching/mentoring, and facilitating. 

Preceptors are to:

• Serve as a role model for students & other practitioners/providers.

• Provide learning experiences in accordance with college & specific program accrediting standards.

• Demonstrate practice expertise & preceptor skills while striving to continuously improve.

Benefits of Serving as a Preceptor

• Free continuing education credit for preceptor development (program-specific) and access to CEImpact

• Appointment as a Clinical Faculty member of the College with the potential for promotion

• Access to online preceptor resources through CORE ELMS
