FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

     I know that taking on a student is a commitment, and I want to make the process as straightforward as possible. Below, I’ve answered some of the most common questions about my clinical requirements, scheduling, expectations, and the preceptor role. My goal is to provide the information you need to determine whether a preceptorship may be a good fit for you and your practice.

     If you have a question that isn’t addressed here, I’m always happy to provide additional information or discuss the details further.

What credentials do preceptors need?

Preceptors may be: 

  • NPs

  • MDs

  • DOs

  • PAs

  • Others may be considered upon request

How many years of experience do preceptors need?

Preceptors are required to have one year of experience in their field, but two years is preferred. 

You work in a specialty other than Family Medicine... so when does Kimi need you?

Creighton CON allows its students to collect clinical hours at specialty clinics/sites during practicum IV, V, and residency.

What if one preceptor cannot commit to the total amount of required hours per semester?

Multiple preceptors are allowed per semester, so it is no problem if you can only commit to a certain number of hours!

  • Max of three preceptors for practicum I - III

  • Max of five preceptors for practicum IV, V, and residency

What if a preceptor is available for precepting during multiple semesters?

Creighton CON does allow students to "reuse" preceptors for diffent practicums. 

What types of experiences are allowed during each practicum?

Goal is to see approximately 70-75% adult/geriatric patients and 20-25% pediatrics. There should be 3-5% prenatal/OB patients. 

  • Practicum I - III: Required family / PCP

  • Practicum IV, V, and residency: Can get hours in specialty areas. Approximately 2/3 of hours need to be done in PCP sites. 

You think you can precept, but are not quite ready to make the commitment so far out. 

  • Please fill out this survey! 

  • I will store your information and reach out to you when we are closer to the deadline for the semester you indicate you may be available to precept. 

You are able to precept, what next?

  • Please fill out this survey to start! 

  • I will input your information into Creighton's software and follow up with you regarding next steps.
