Competency Software for Preceptors/Faculty


The Preceptor role includes both preceptors and faculty of ACEND-accredited programs. The Competency software currently does not have a faculty-specific role and Faculty must be added to Competency under the Preceptor role by the program director. Within the Preceptor Role, Faculty and Preceptors have access to view rotation/courses assigned to them, ability to complete rubrics and checklists on students, and review submitted supervised hours for approval.

For questions, please contact ACEND.
