- Students are responsible for acquiring their own preceptors. Once a preceptor is identified a Preceptor application and clinical agency contract must be completed. Preceptors are responsible for reviewing the Graduate Clinical Preceptor Guide (included in the application).
- Review the list of clinical agencies (to determine if a written contract is already in place).
- If no agency contract is in place have your preceptor submit the Preceptor Application and Agency Contract — https://missouri.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8k1puvwNCZRtx1b — at least 12 weeks prior to your clinical experience.
- Once the Preceptor Application and Agency Contract are received both the preceptor and clinical site must be approved by the course faculty prior to beginning ANY clinical experience.
