BECOME A PRECEPTOR

If you are Certified Nurse-Midwife, Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, Certified Women’s Health Care Nurse Practitioner or a Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, there is no better way to give back to FNU than by becoming a clinical preceptor. Our distance education model thrives because of talented clinical preceptors which is why we ensure that every preceptor is supported with educational resources to help in their role as a clinical educator. We also offer an honorarium for precepting after the student finishes his/her clinical practicum. Are you interested in becoming a preceptor? Let us know by clicking on the link below and filling out a preceptor information request form. For more information about becoming a preceptor, click the button below.

APPLY TO BE A COURIER

In 1928, FNU founder Mary Breckinridge established the Courier Program, recruiting young people to work in the Kentucky Mountains and learn about service to humanity. Couriers escorted guests safely through remote terrain, delivered medical supplies to remote outpost clinics, and helped nurse-midwives during home visits and births. Since that time, FNU has benefited greatly from more than 1,600 couriers. Today, the Courier Program is an eight-week, rural and public health, service-learning program with a rich and adventuresome history that targets college students with interest in public health, health care or a related field. FNU looks forward to bringing back the Courier Program in 2023.
