1. The Regional Clinical Faculty (RCF), with whom the student is assigned, will be in communication with you as a preceptor to monitor the student’s progress. Part of that process includes a Pre-Clinical Clinical Site Visit by the Regional Clinical Faculty (RCF) to student’s primary site and an additional Clinical Site Visit around the student’s half-way point in their clinical practicum. In order to graduate, students must be able to fulfill the clinical requirements of the FNU and demonstrate safe and competent care within the Core Competencies of the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) or the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF).
