Individuals entering the correctional health care field can now connect with experienced professionals through the NCCHC Foundation’s new free Virtual Preceptorship Directory, part of a national initiative designed to support learning, professional development, and workforce growth. The directory provides free access to a searchable
online directory of volunteer preceptors who have offered to share their expertise with professionals seeking guidance in correctional health care.

“Access to experienced professionals who can share practical insight and real-world experience is invaluable to those entering or advancing in correctional health
care,” said Foundation Director Julie Haugland. The initiative was developed by the NCCHC Foundation’s Workforce Development Committee and made
possible through the support of CFG Health, a Gold Level NCCHC Foundation Correctional Health Partner.

Virtual preceptors share insights about their career path, offer guidance on professional development, answer questions about career options and challenges, and can choose to have virtual check-ins with participants. They do not provide patient care or supervise or evaluate clinical work. There is no commitment to a fixed schedule or number of hours. Participants can search on a variety of selections, including availability, interaction mode, geography, facility type, and experience.
