Preceptors

Thank you for your interest in serving as a clinical preceptor for a University of Cincinnati College of Nursing graduate student.

As a nationally recognized institution for our academic standards, diversity and inclusion efforts, technology application and research activity, we are proud to see the reputation of our advanced-practice programs reflected in the quality of our graduate students.  

• Mission, Vision, Values and History of the College
• Accreditation

Our growing enrollment requires that we increasingly recruit qualified preceptors to deliver hands-on education through evidence-based practice throughout the country. Clinical preceptors are our partners in the academic process, playing a key role in preparing future advanced-practice nurse leaders. This is a rewarding opportunity to share your expertise with the next generation of practitioners and help shape the future of nursing.

UC College of Nursing is grateful for the invaluable support our students, faculty and staff receive from preceptors and clinical partners. Our Preceptor Awards are one way we celebrate and thank outstanding practitioners and partners whose commitment to teaching, learning and leading in the clinical environment inspires the next generation of advanced practice nurses.

The nomination window for our advanced-practice and undergraduate/accelerated pre-licensure preceptor awards closed May 1. Look for an announcement of our 2023 recipients soon!
