Clinical Rotations / Preceptorships

Clinical Rotations / Preceptorships

Compass Health Network is committed to educational enrichment, collaboration, and hands-on clinical learning. We offer numerous opportunities for preceptorships and clinical rotations.

A preceptorship or clinical rotation is a mentored experience in which a practicing physician or nurse practitioner provides instruction, training, and supervision to a student. These experiences allow students to:

• Explore a specific clinical field
• Understand the realities of a healthcare career
• Identify personal strengths, interests, and areas for growth
• Gain hands-on experience in a clinical setting

Students report that preceptorships and rotations are an excellent way to improve clinical skills and prepare for the workforce.

Application Process

3. Include the following in your email:

• Letter of good standing from your educational facility

• Program type (e.g., pediatrics, psychiatry, family practice, etc.)
• Expectations and learning goals
• Required number of hours
• Clinic location requested
• Student’s hours of availability

4. Our Student Services staff will determine availability and connect you with an appropriate faculty member or preceptor to match your program requirements and learning needs.

5. Once a match is found, you will be advised of the opportunity and provided with additional paperwork to facilitate program entry.

6. If a match is unavailable, you will be notified promptly so that you can pursue opportunities with alternative healthcare organizations.

Note: At this time, we do not have pediatric or family medicine rotations available in our Western Region (Kansas City/South of KC area).
