How to become a preceptor: what qualifies you, what the training is, what a block pays Live chat
Apply

Start precepting

Ten minutes and no cost. The form tells a coordinator what you hold, where you practice, which population you would teach and how many hours you could give. Nothing reaches a program until you accept a student.

Start precepting

Ten minutes. A coordinator replies within one business day.

Nothing reaches a program until you accept a student. No fee to the nurse at any point.

Six things to check first

  • Your license is active with no restriction, probation or pending action.
  • Your board certification covers the population you would teach and is not inside 90 days of lapse.
  • Two or more years have passed since your certification date in that population.
  • Your clinic or video practice sees the visit types the course requires.
  • You can give a student eight or nine hours a week for a term, or half that for a half-block.
  • Your practice will sign an affiliation agreement, or already holds one with a school.

If one of them fails, apply anyway and say which. Some are cured by time and some by a signature.

What applying does not commit you to

Applying binds you to nothing: not a student, a rate, a program or a start date. Each of those is decided when a card arrives, and every card can be declined. Restrict yourself to video, cap yourself at one student at a time, block out weeks, or leave the roster, whenever you choose.
