The people behind your placement

Two clinical directors check every preceptor before you see a name. Four coordinators handle everything after that.

How we check a preceptor

Before we suggest anyone, a clinical director checks four things against your school's handbook. Does the preceptor hold the license your program asks for, in your state? Do they see enough patients in the population your course requires? Is their setting one your syllabus accepts? Can they supervise you the way your program and your state board require?

A preceptor who misses any one of those is not offered. Once you pick from the shortlist, our coordinators send the agreement to your school, collect your clearances and send you a Friday update until your final evaluation is signed.
