An off-campus preceptorship is a pre-arranged four-week rotation occurring under the supervision of volunteer faculty not accessed through a third-party application platform, usually at a regional private clinic within the state of Nebraska. The ability to participate in an off-campus preceptorship is dependent on the Preceptor having an UNMC volunteer faculty appointment prior to the start date of the off-campus preceptorship.
