• Demonstrate practice expertise & preceptor skills while striving to continuously improve.

Benefits of Serving as a Preceptor

• Free continuing education credit for preceptor development (program-specific) and access to CEImpact

• Appointment as a Clinical Faculty member of the College with the potential for promotion

All of our programs utilize the experiential platform, CORE ELMS. If interested in becoming a preceptor, please send a request to OCEE@sullivan.edu

If you are a current preceptor for one of our programs, we thank you. We appreciate you taking the responsibility of your professional oath to the fullest sincerity by “expanding and sharing knowledge within the profession” and “utilizing your knowledge, skills, experiences, and values to prepare the next generation.”
