  • 1.  Need a Preceptor in DFW, Texas

    Hello!

    My name is Pauline Nueva and I'm having a difficult time looking for a preceptor in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area. I've contacted multiple hospitals and majority precept employees only. Others would only precept students who already have a current agreement with specific programs. I only have the practicum left and my counselors suggested I do a a leave of absence to give me more time to look for a preceptor. If anyone has any suggestion or be willing to accept me, I would really appreciate it!

    Hi Pauline!  I'm checking to see if my organization has an academic affiliation with Grand Canyon--I think we do but I'm confirming.  I'll let you know what I find out.  Are you able to travel a little bit to complete your practicum?  Tyler in East Texas isn't super super far from Euless.

    Hi Ms.Lasi!

    Thank you for the reply! My field counselor said I have to complete 150 hours and only required to do 10 hours a week. Tyler is a bit of a drive, about a 2 hours, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to get my practicum done! I really appreciate your help!

    Let me also check with my director here at Baylor Dallas. It would be a shorter drive for you and I know many of our current Informaticists graduated from Grand Canyon.​

    Thank you for the reply! Unfortunately, my counselor said that Baylor wasn't an option, they only accept preceptorship for employees only.
    I appreciate the help though!
