Questions

What preceptors ask us most. Anything else, our team answers.

Ask a question All questions

Can I precept in person or virtually?

Both. Take a student into your practice, or precept online where the student’s school allows it. See in person and virtual precepting.

How much time does it take?

In person, the days you choose. Virtually, minutes a week: you review and sign off your student’s hours, and our team runs the mentorship sessions, agreements and paperwork.

When do I meet my student?

Once we have a student who fits your specialty and where you practice, we set up a short call so you can both see it’s a good fit. You decide after that call.

How do I get paid?

You are paid a set amount for each block of hours, the same in person or virtually, and you see it before you accept a student. A block’s length follows your student’s program. How pay works
