Preceptor Fit
It is intended that students stay with the clinical preceptor and site arranged by themselves or the OFE during the course. Students are only permitted to attend clinical with the approved preceptor for the specific site and rotation in accordance with the approval letter. Clinical activities completed with preceptors or sites that are not approved may be considered a policy or Code of Conduct violation and may be subject to disciplinary action. If the fit between the student and clinical preceptor/site is not working or the student is not being exposed to the required patient populations the clinical faculty and student will discuss the need to identify another clinic site. All students who do not wish to remain with their preceptor and site for other various reasons will be responsible for finding a new clinical preceptor and site. Students must be in communication with the OFE and their faculty regarding any preceptor and site changes as soon as practical. The College and faculty must be apprised of students’ placement at all times. Any new preceptor or site would need to be approved by OFE and Program Director, respectively.
