Preceptorship

Preceptorship is an exciting and meaningful part of your final semester at AUCON. Below are important details to help you prepare and stay on track.

📅 Timing & Class Expectations

Preceptorship will take place during the second half of your final semester.
You will have in-person class sessions both before and after your rotation, but no class meetings during the preceptorship period.
Placement requests will be submitted at the start of your third semester.
During the preceptorship meeting, you’ll receive full details about hours, expectations, and requirements.

🚫 Placement Policy – Please Read Carefully

Hospitals require that all preceptorships be arranged solely by the AUCON Preceptorship Coordinator and the hospital’s designated coordinator.

Please do not attempt to arrange your own placement.
This includes asking nurses if they are willing to precept you.
Following this process helps protect our hospital partnerships and ensures compliance with institutional policies.
