Bachelor’s prepared with some type of specialized training or certification that makes them an expert
in their field is required. The credentials of the preceptor in these cases will have to be approved by
the instructor, Professor Shulman. Student will be required to forward CV of preceptor to instructor/FSU to be approved prior to pursuing permission for clinical placement.
