Preceptor Information and Resources

For future NPs, guidance and mentorship are key to a successful career. CANP is committed to ensuring your future success by helping provide connections to preceptors.

Preceptors are nurse practitioners who teach, evaluate, and aid in developing competencies in students working to become NPs. This critical relationship enables students to experience day-to-day practice with a mentor or role model in a clinical setting. Preceptorship prepares students for the profession and exposes preceptors to new ideas and information being taught today while allowing candid dialogue and relationship building to ensure your career gets started on the right foot.

Below we provide information related to guidelines and information related to preceptorships and companies currently providing preceptors. Listing of preceptor companies does not denote a relationship nor endorsement from CANP.
