Preceptor Guidelines

1. Preceptors must possess one of the following credentials:
   • A DVM/VMD degree from an AVMA accredited institution
   • Be licensed to practice veterinary medicine in their state
   • Be a graduate of an AVMA/CVTEA accredited program of veterinary technology
   • Be credentialed in their state of residence as an R.V.T or its equivalent
   • All foreign credentials will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
   • In general, individuals possessing a degree from an AVMA-listed school will qualify as a preceptor

      

2. All potential preceptors must submit a Preceptor Application and be approved by the course instructor as soon as possible before the first day of the course.
   • If there is doubt as to the preceptor's qualifications, the course instructor should be contacted as quickly as possible for clarification. Preceptors will not receive confirmation of their acceptance as a preceptor, but any non-acceptable or questionable preceptor applicants, will be contacted immediately by the program.
