Faculty

The faculty recognize the preceptor as the clinical expert. The role of faculty is to support the preceptor with the educational plan for each individual student. All students are assigned a preceptor along with a faculty member for support and guidance for all educational needs. We greatly value the preceptor input in student progress, but would not expect the preceptor to make final educational decision regarding course passing.
