UWG Nursing Preceptorship

In partnership with University of West Georgia’s Tanner Health System School of Nursing, the preceptorship program helps students increase their knowledge and gain hands-on skills through community health work. Preceptors can participate in several community health initiatives that focus on improving nutrition, increasing physical activity, and managing or preventing chronic disease. 

Since 2016, more than 200 senior nursing students have completed the preceptorship program. After orientation, preceptors have gone on to facilitate vital community health and wellness programs including:

• Diabetes Prevention
• Faith-Based Community Health Education Events
• Freshstart Tobacco Cessation 
• Get Healthy Kids Programs
