CLINICAL PRECEPTOR RESPONSIBILITIES. The preceptor plays a vital role in the educational process. The preceptor acts as a clinical resource. while students apply the medical knowledge obtained during the didactic training. It is not the. expectation that a preceptor act as an instructor for said didactic knowledge.
A total of 120 clinical preceptor hours may be used to replace a maximum of 25 CE credits per 5 year certification period. If you chose to include credit for clinical preceptor hours on your recertification application, you will still need a minimum of 25 pharmacology credits. Many NPs precept multiple students for well over 120 hours in a 5 year period, but only 25 total credits will be accepted for preceptor clinical hours.
