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.

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

- Not be involved in a performance-management plan
