NWHSU Preceptorship Program

Shape the Future of Healthcare—Become a Preceptor Today 

Shared, hands-on experience is the foundation of growth—and the catalyst that transforms clinical education into proficiency. The Preceptor Program at Northwestern Health Sciences University (NWHSU) brings that vision to life. 

As a preceptor, you share practical insight, mentor emerging professionals, and use your experience to make a lasting impact. When student interns step beyond the classroom and connect with seasoned practitioners, they don’t just learn; they help shape the future of healthcare.  

Qualified practitioners provide mentorship and immersive, hands-on learning in an active chiropractic environment, helping student interns better understand what it takes to run a successful chiropractic office. From patient care and daily operations to practice management, students gain invaluable exposure that builds confidence, competence, and prepares the next generation of healthcare providers to lead with skill and compassion. 

Northwestern’s Preceptor Program is a critical step for students transitioning from their final trimester to professional practice. By working alongside experienced doctors, interns learn how to navigate the shift from student to entry-level practitioner in a primary health care setting—preparing them for a successful launch into their careers. 

Pair classroom learning with real-world mentorship and watch the next generation of practitioners come to life. Action drives understanding.
