Preceptors serve as role models for professional and ethical behavior for learners and demonstrate the highest ideals of the profession.
The preceptor will be helping you apply classroom knowledge to real life situations in patient care settings and facilitating the development of your critical thinking skills.
All learners must work 8 hours per day, one day per week. Any excused or unexcused absences must be made up in order to meet curricular requirements. Students will plan to attend their rotations for the entire semester with the exception of any required on-campus activities.
Learners must obtain prior approval from their preceptor and the Office of Experiential Affairs for any absence. If prior approval is not obtained, the absence will be considered unexcused. The learner must make arrangements with the preceptor to make up the time missed.
