About PreceptLink
NP school is stressful— but finding a clinical preceptor shouldn’t be. Yet many students face delays in their programs, postponed graduations, and lost income simply because they can’t secure the clinical support they need.
PreceptLink is here to change that.
We connect students with qualified, experienced preceptors in the Chattanooga area, and pair each student with a knowledgeable, supportive mentor. Mentorship has been shown to reduce stress and improve academic outcomes — and we make it a core part of our mission.

Mentor vs. Preceptor- What is the difference?
A preceptor supervises and evaluates students during their clinical rotations. They focus on clinical skills, patient care, and ensuring that students meet program requirements in real-world healthcare settings.
A mentor provides ongoing support, guidance, and encouragement outside of the clinical setting. Mentors help students navigate the challenges of NP school, offering advice on career planning, work-life balance, and emotional well-being.
What qualifications do your mentors and preceptors have?
Our preceptor partners and mentors are certified NPs with extensive experience in their respective fields, ensuring that you receive the best guidance and support during your training. Preceptors also complete training on effective feedback and are evaluated by students after each rotation.
Is there a fee to use PreceptLink?
To provide training and retain highly qualified preceptors, there is a fee associated with preceptor connections through PreceptLink. Our NP mentorship program is included without additional cost. We provide transparent information during the registration process.
