What is expected of preceptors?
UH Manoa Nursing expects each preceptor to complete the free online course covering the role, responsibilities, and techniques for guiding clinical learning in a supportive non-threatening manner.
The preceptor guides student learning in the clinical setting and partners with the UH Manoa faculty to ensure student learning. Preceptors provide input to the faculty member related to the student’s clinical skill development and the faculty is responsible for the evaluation of student performance. The faculty conducts 3 site visits during the rotation and is available to the preceptor and student, as needed. The preceptor participates in the mid-term and final assessment meeting with the student and faculty.
