What preceptors do

• Provide direct one-on-one support to a learner while simultaneously carrying out clinical responsibilities of the current practice environment for a defined time frame.

• Mentor the student in an immersive practice setting while maintaining an environment conducive to learning.

• Supported by a faculty member who acts as a liaison between the university and practice setting for each clinical course.
