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.

Off-campus preceptorships meet the college of medicine criteria for a sub-internship rotation. Each department offers an off-campus preceptorship course, the standardized course number is 764.

Approval and Scheduling Process

An off-campus preceptorship cannot be established within 8 weeks (about 2 months) of the off-campus preceptorship start date. 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. The college of medicine cannot complete the volunteer faculty appointment process in less than 8 weeks. 

An UNMC College of Medicine phase 3 elective of interest (second choice) must be scheduled through OASIS in advance of the off-campus preceptorship approval and scheduling process. Only after the approval of an off-campus preceptorship application can the off-campus preceptorship be administratively added to your schedule by the office of admissions and student affairs.
