I live in Maryland and I will like to inquire if anyone will like and be available to be my preceptor (November 2024).
I am looking for a preceptor. I am an MS-Health Informatics student at Grand Canyon University and am required to complete a virtual or onsite practicum of 150 hours.
I currently live in Silver Spring, MD, and I do not mind a preceptorship done remotely.
I am reaching out to see if anyone can be of assistance in securing a preceptor with the following qualifications:
Must hold a master's degree in Healthcare Informatics, Bioinformatics, Public Health Informatics, HIM, Information Technology, Nursing Informatics or graduate degree in a related discipline.
Provide opportunities to work with other informatics and HIM professionals as appropriate to augment the practicum experience.
Minimum of 2 years current work experience in informatics, IT or HIM. This can be within a hospital or clinic setting.
Minimum of 3 months at current employer.
Able to provide an educational experience that will help meet overall practicum objective and personal learning objectives
Preceptor willingness and time available to mentor students learning by serving as a resource during the practicum time.
Preceptor is experientially and academically prepared
Preceptors cannot be relatives, personal friends, direct supervisor or a current GCU student
Preceptor can work at student's place of employment but cannot work in the same department as the student.
Please, if anyone is interested or you know of a possible preceptor with the above qualifications, I would be grateful to speak with them and answer any questions they may have surrounding the virtual practicum contingency plan implemented by GCU. Any assistance provided will be much appreciated, thanks again!
