Request Deadlines
As noted earlier, we are currently placing students from over 92 academic programs in our facilities. In an effort to provide equitable placement for all programs, we are asking that requests for cohort placement and preceptors be placed well in advance. We understand that not every school is on the same semester cycle and have attempted to make the priority dates as universal as possible. These deadlines apply to all semester-based programs. Special arrangements will be made with certificate programs that have frequent class starts. We also understand that academic programs might not have exact enrollment numbers at the time of request, but priority placement will be given to requests made by the deadline.

Preceptors
Preceptors, or one-on-one teaching, which provides the student with focused and individualized attention and are often a part of the academic curriculum. We will always try to accommodate these needs. However, a variety of factors such as staffing patterns, patient acuity, and individual unit resources may impact our ability to meet each of these requests. Additionally, to maintain a safe environment, it is not possible to place multiple students into preceptorships on the same unit at the same time. Students and academic facilities can assist this process by being as flexible with their schedule as possible.
We are also asking that you make preceptor requests at the same time. The request should include:
- approximate number of students
- students’ preferred specialties/facilities
Again, we understand that you might not know exact numbers at the time you submit the request, but approximation will help us equitably distribute our available preceptors throughout the academic programs. Please make all requests via email for tracking purposes.
We will return confirmation of clinical placement as well as a list of preceptors with contact information by the above dates to give you ample time to plan and confirm student’s schedules.
