Behind every successful DNP student stands a dedicated clinical preceptor, an unsung hero in nursing education.
Clinical preceptors bring deep expertise, compassion, and mentorship to our Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students, who gain invaluable experience and professional identity through extensive time spent learning directly from these exceptional professionals.
These mentors don’t just excel in clinical practice and community service; they guide, inspire, and shape the future of advanced practice nursing and leadership in systems and population health.
This fall, we’re proud to celebrate our Clinical Preceptors of the Year, exceptional leaders whose impact reaches far beyond the clinic. Their dedication strengthens our program and elevates the future of healthcare.
Join us in celebrating our preceptors at this year’s Nurses of Influence Awards Ceremony on Nov. 6, 2025, 5:30-7:30 p.m., in Oak Hall, Denny Room, at the University of Washington, Seattle campus.
