AMERICAN ACADEMY OF NURSE PRACTITIONERS CERTIFICATION BOARD - PRECEPTORSHIP
PRECEPTORSHIP FORM
Precepting advanced practice students during the provision of direct clinical supervision of
patient care as a nurse practitioner is consistent with the demonstration of continuing competence
and ongoing professional development.
Formal Inter-Professional Education (IPE) programs organized in collaboration with nursing, physician assistant, medicine,
dentistry, or pharmacy Program Faculty and clinical sites are recognized by AANPCB.
National organizations (e.g., the National Academy of Medicine, formerly called the Institute of Medicine) have identified team-based
care as a critical component of healthcare improvement. Joint accreditation activities of interprofessional collaboration help to promote
healthcare delivery and outcomes improvement.
Criteria for Claiming Preceptorship Clinical Practice Hours
A maximum of 120 Preceptorship Clinical Practice Hours within the 5-year period
of certification may be claimed for a maximum of 25 non-pharmacology CE credits.
Complete preceptor site information for each practice site is required.
Faculty Coordinator contact information is required.
AANPCB reserves the right to request additional supporting documentation for validation
of preceptorship.
Application
Submission of a complete Preceptorship Form is required for recertification.
Complete as many forms as necessary to account for preceptorship sites and students.
Upload completed forms to My Documents in your My AANPCB account online. Copies
may also be emailed or faxed as a PDF.
Incomplete forms will not be processed.
Conversion of Preceptor Hours into CE Credits
A maximum of 120 Preceptorship Clinical Practice Hours within the 5-year period of
certification may be claimed for a maximum of 25 non-pharmacology CE credits.
Convert the number of hours precepted to CE credits using the Conversion Table.
Record the total number (not to exceed 25) of non-pharmacology credits on the CE Log
of the renewal application.
Calculation of 120 clinical hours is based on precepting 8 hours per week for one
semester (i.e., 15 weeks x 8 hours/week = 120 hours).
