AGACNP preceptor support for Case Western Reserve University students

• Program: Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner
• School: Case Western Reserve University
• Directory location: Cleveland, Ohio
• Verified pathways: MSN
• Official evidence checked: July 21, 2026
• Clinical population: adults and older adults with complex, acute, critical, or unstable conditions
• Approval authority: the student's current program

A published AGACNP page confirms a current pathway, not every operational detail around clinical education. Use the links below as the source record, then verify the student's course documents before contacting a preceptor or site.

We verified the listed MSN evidence on July 21, 2026. Each link belongs to the institution or its official catalog and names the AGACNP specialty. The student's present course materials still control the clinical request.

• Official AGACNP source 1, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, MSN at Case Western Reserve University).
• Official AGACNP source 2, MSN: Official page explicitly identifies the AGACNP specialty (Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner | Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing).

These citations are included for verification, not as an endorsement of our service. Read the current official page and ask the program to confirm any requirement that affects the proposed preceptor or site.

The right match gives the student supervised work with acute, critical, and medically complex adults and older adults. Population focus, acuity, and clinical tasks all matter. A program may define a place for adolescents, but that boundary must come from the student's current requirements rather than a generic assumption.

Depending on the objectives, the search may include ICU or critical care, step-down or progressive care, emergency care, hospitalist or inpatient medicine, trauma and surgical services, or an inpatient specialty such as cardiology, pulmonology, or nephrology. No setting is automatically acceptable. The program must decide whether the patient mix, acuity, clinician role, and available activities fit the course.

Official evidence currently supports MSN. The degree or certificate name is useful context, yet it cannot stand in for the clinical checklist. We ask the student to provide the current requirements before any potential preceptor is presented.

A useful clinical request names what the student must actually do under supervision. Define the target population, acuity, care setting, procedures or skills, and expected level of participation. That detail lets a prospective preceptor assess fit without making promises on the program's behalf.

Two national benchmarks are often confused: the NTF recommendation of at least 750 direct patient care hours per NP population track and the 500 faculty-supervised clinical hour floor used in certification eligibility. A student's program can require or distribute hours differently. Ask Case Western Reserve University to confirm the actual AGACNP total and approved balance.

Use the AGACNP clinical hours guide for national context and the preceptor requirements guide for screening questions. Neither guide replaces the program's current instructions.

A prospective preceptor is generally a board-certified acute-care nurse practitioner or an appropriately licensed physician whose current inpatient or acute role matches the objectives. Certification, licensure, experience, specialty, site, and relationship to the student may all matter, but Case Western Reserve University decides which candidate is eligible. We document the candidate for that review rather than declaring approval.

Use Cleveland as a directory reference only. The student's residence, state authorization, licensure context, commuting limits, and program instructions can produce a different search area. No city or state mention on this page promises site availability.

The AGACNP placement guide for Ohio adds state-level context about acute and inpatient settings. Use it to frame the search, then apply the exact location and approval rules confirmed by the program.

• The exact course, clinical objectives, term dates, and remaining approved hours
• The approved geography, adult-gerontology population, patient acuity, and setting
• The proposed clinician's license, certification, specialty, acute role, and availability
• The site's service line, patient mix, and opportunities tied to the objectives
• Every current preceptor, site, compliance, and submission form supplied by the program

Give the program a proposal it can evaluate without guessing: who the clinician is, where the person practices, which adults and older adults are served, what the student would do, when supervision is available, and which current forms apply. Formal review remains entirely with the program.

Do the confirmation work before outreach: course and dates, approved location, clinical objectives, setting and acuity, remaining hours, candidate credentials, and required forms. We use those facts to source carefully and submit any potential match for program review.

Nothing on this page is issued by Case Western Reserve University. AGACNP Preceptor independently looks for candidates against the requirements the student supplies, and the program retains full approval authority. A search may not produce an available or approved match.
