Requirements
Chamberlain preceptor & site requirements
Before a Chamberlain practicum is approved, both your preceptor and your site have to meet specific requirements. Here’s the full picture.
What a preceptor must be
- An active, unencumbered license
- National certification matching your track — FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, AGPCNP, or AGACNP (or a physician in scope where your program allows)
- A practice that sees the patient population your course is graded on
- Willing to sign the student–preceptor agreement and complete preceptor documentation in Typhon
What the site & placement require
- A signed affiliation agreement between the site and the school
- Preceptor and site nominated and approved in Typhon
- CastleBranch cleared — background check, drug screen, immunizations — within the site’s window
- Hours and evaluations logged in Typhon to the full requirement
How we make sure every box is checked
We verify the preceptor’s license, certification, and scope match up front, assemble the affiliation agreement, file Typhon, and track CastleBranch — so your placement is approved on the first submission.
Questions
Answered.
Can a physician be my preceptor?
In many cases yes, where the physician practices within your course’s scope and your program allows it. We confirm the fit before you commit.
Does the site need a contract with Chamberlain?
Yes — a signed affiliation agreement between the clinical site and the school is required before your hours count. We handle it.
