A student rotation is part of a formal education program for health care professionals. The learner rotates through various settings to gain hands-on patient care experience. Student rotations are very structured. They include learning objectives, behavioral expectations and a supervising clinical faculty member.
Depending on the type of program, the student preceptor may be a nurse, respiratory therapist, advanced practice provider or other allied health professional. The preceptor is approved by the educational program’s criteria. In such cases, the program usually has very structured objectives and approvals for practicum experiences. This type of student rotation or preceptorship is reserved for students near the end of the program.
