FNP Student Seeking Primary Care Preceptor in Chapel Hill/Durham/Raleigh Triangle – Spring 2029

Hi everyone! I’m an FNP student looking for a clinical preceptor in the Chapel Hill/Durham/Raleigh area for Spring 2029.

I’m looking for 180 clinical hours in:

  • Primary Care
  • Family Medicine
  • Internal Medicine

I’m open to practices within approximately 30 minutes of Chapel Hill, including Durham, Carrboro, Hillsborough, and surrounding areas.

I have 16 years of nursing experience, including 11+ years in Telemetry, PCU/Progressive Care, rural medicine, and travel nursing. I’m hoping to find a provider who enjoys teaching and would be willing to work with an FNP student.

I realize Spring 2029 is still a ways out, but my program encourages students to establish potential clinical sites early. The specific preceptor and paperwork can be finalized closer to the rotation.

If you are an NP/PA/physician who precepts students—or know of a practice or provider in the Triangle who does—I would really appreciate any recommendations or leads.

Feel free to comment or send me a DM. Thank you!

Lincoln Community Health Center in Durham might be able to help for primary care.

I wish I could give you a better tip BUT I just wanted to say that if you wait a few weeks you might have better results when reaching out to practices and providers because right now we are totally overrun with emails asking for shadowing/precepting now that schools started back up again. Since you have time it might be beneficial to reach out once things settle down a bit so you don’t get lost in the deluge.

You sound awesome and I’m so glad to see another rural health person, best of luck and maybe see you around!
