How to Become a Clinical Site or Preceptor
Clinical Sites and Preceptors play a vital role for our students in the Osteopathic Medicine, Nursing, Physician Assistant Studies, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy programs. The clinical setting synthesizes concepts and application of principles for quality health care delivery. Students work closely with preceptors, progressively developing the skills and clinical judgment necessary. Share your knowledge and skills with students and help students apply classroom knowledge and concepts to real-world situations.
