Preceptor Training

We train experienced clinicians who want to guide learners in their field.

Preceptors are experienced practitioners who work closely with a learner for a set period. They help learners develop the skills required for safe, ethical and high-quality practice.

Preceptors set expectations, give feedback on performance, and provide appropriate opportunities for learning.

Preceptor eligibility

In order to be eligible as a preceptor, clinicians must:

  • Have the support of their manager
  • Be in good standing with their regulatory college, as applicable
  • Not be involved in a performance-management plan
  • Be up to date with competencies and annual education requirements
  • Demonstrate best practices and professionalism for an appropriate period in their area
  • Have a schedule that meets placement requirements, or coordinate to share a learner with another preceptor to meet placement requirements (including regular work schedule and anticipated time off or vacation)
  • Have a caseload appropriate for a learner, considering size, complexity, modifications and other factors
