Preceptor vs clinical instructor

These titles are not interchangeable. A preceptor typically practices at the site and supervises a student there. A clinical instructor is often employed or contracted by the school and may supervise a group across sites or skills labs.

Why the distinction matters

If your program requires a preceptor model, faculty presence on campus does not replace the site supervisor. Confirm which model your course uses before you search.
