  • A faculty / instructor does not need orientation to facility if you are just checking in with students occasionally.
  • Any onsite faculty/instructor providing direct patient care must complete facility orientation - please talk with each site directly regarding requirements.
  • Ensure student completes required orientation onsite.
  • Ensure healthcare facilities have correct faculty/instructor contact information, including cell phone numbers.
  • Ensure preceptors are assigned.
  • Provide feedback of clinical site.
