What happens to a preceptor's approval if there is a change of employment?

• A. Preceptor approval is suspended until the board reevaluates
• B. Preceptor approval continues without change
• C. Preceptor approval is terminated immediately
• D. Preceptor approval is unaffected

Answer: (A)

When a preceptor changes employment, the approval is not automatically carried over to the new site. The board requires a reevaluation to ensure the new practice setting still meets supervision requirements and that the individual remains qualified to supervise interns. To protect patient safety and maintain proper oversight, the preceptor’s approval is suspended pending this review. If the board determines the new position and site meet all criteria, the approval can be reinstated; otherwise, it could be terminated after review.
