Students: How to Find a Preceptor1. Request preceptor
What’s next? We are very fast and efficient. Steps 1-3 usually happen in 1-3 business days! How to Request a Preceptor and Complete Your Profile: Use Search Filters at the top to search for your needs. Click into profile for site details, pricing, and availability. Check with the school if you’re not sure whether your choice fits your school’s requirements! Accept the agreements and Reserve! (25% deposit) Complete your profile thoughtfully. Preceptors will see this before acceptance.. There is even a place you can post a 1-2 minute video where you can talk about yourself, your goals, and why a preceptor should say yes to precepting you! Preceptors LOVE the video! The process is started! You’ll get emails along the way, so make sure to mark our emails "not spam"! 2. Preceptor views your profile (1-3 days on average)
Preceptor Reviews Your Profile: (Usually 1-4 business days) Preceptor reviews your profile and accepts. Occasionally, preceptors do decline a student, but, don’t worry. We will first try to replace you, and if we can’t replace you, we’ll refund your deposit. (50% autopay upon acceptance) 3. We complete and send school paperwork! Once signed your preceptor’s info is revealed! (1-4 days on average)
School Paperwork Signed: (Usually 1-4 business days) Upload any paperwork that needs a signature to the Paperwork tab on your rotation, and we’ll send it over electronically for you. Make sure your information is completed on any school forms! (Name, term, class, ID, etc.) Uploading a blank form will delay the process.. Documents that require management signatures and MOUs/Affiliation Agreements take longer than Preceptor Agreement Forms. Upload a note if there is anything special we need to know. If you don’t have paperwork for signature, you can skip this step and press the Paperwork Signed button. Once signed, we’ll will press the Paperwork Signed button.
