As part of a major grant from the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) awarded to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska in 2022, the Midwest Clinical Instruction Regional Network (MCIRN) team is proud to announce the MCIRN Advanced Preceptor Fellowship, an innovative, interactive online training program designed for preceptors. Our first cohort launched on May 12, 2025.
The Fellowship builds on the core preceptor concepts introduced in the MCIRN Process Precept Need-to-Know Skills Updates live training course, which has already been completed by 287 Nebraska nurses. The Fellowship advances these foundational skills and concepts further through application of real-life scenarios illustrated through interactive videos and expert insights focused on coaching, teaching, mentoring and facilitation when working with preceptees.
The Fellowship engages learners with videos using actors who illustrate common situations that preceptors encounter when working with preceptees. Each topic is paired with evidence-based content and expert review to deepen learning and application. At the conclusion of each topic, content is aligned with the Association for Nursing Professional Development (ANPD) preceptor competencies and preceptor roles outlined in the Ulrich Precepting Model, ensuring a comprehensive and confidence-building learning experience.
Fellowship Highlights:
Thanks to HRSA’s support, we are excited to offer this robust program to strengthen preceptor development across the region!
Help create training resources for preceptors and clinical instructors, both live and on demand
