NDNPA Acknowledges NP Preceptors

In 2022, the NDNPA initiated a program to recognize NP preceptors who practice and serve NP students attending North Dakota NP programs. The NDNPA has requested that ND NP program directors submit a list of preceptors to be recognized. In appreciation for their efforts in helping promote and advance the NP profession by sharing their time and knowledge, the NDNPA board would like to list and recognize the NP preceptors on the NDNPA webpage and through social media. In addition, each preceptor will be provided with a $100 discount for the annual NDNPA pharmacology conference.

Please join us in acknowledging the valuable education these preceptors are providing to NP students attending ND NP programs!
