FNP preceptor support for University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences students

• Program: Family Nurse Practitioner
• School: University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences
• Directory location: Little Rock, Arkansas
• Verified pathways: DNP
• Official evidence checked: July 22, 2026
• Clinical focus: family and individual primary care across the lifespan
• Potential setting landscape: family practice, community health, pediatric primary care, internal medicine, adult and older adult primary care, reproductive or women's health, school or student health, and other approved primary care settings
• Approval authority: the student's current program

Current official pages support the program and pathway labels below. They do not establish the student's curriculum, admissions status, tuition, modality, or clinical approval process, so those details must be confirmed directly with the program.

The directory uses the official FNP pages available on July 22, 2026. They support DNP as the pathway set for this record. Any detail not explicit in those pages remains unclaimed and must be confirmed with the program.

• Official FNP source 1, DNP: The current official institution or catalog source identifies the FNP DNP pathway evidence.

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 proposed experience should reflect family and individual primary care from childhood through older adulthood. That does not mean every student needs the same population split or that every all-ages clinic fits. The patient mix and supervised activities must support the approved objectives.

No site category is automatically suitable. A community health center may offer broad age diversity, a pediatric practice may fill child health objectives, and an adult or reproductive health setting may address another need. The student's program must evaluate the complete proposal.

The published pathway set is DNP. Before sourcing, separate that public fact from the student's individual clinical need. Confirm the active course, required outcomes, patient populations, remaining approved hours, location boundaries, and candidate credentials.

Break the practicum into the competencies and lifespan populations that remain unmet. The search can then prioritize the right service and clinician instead of asking broadly for any FNP preceptor. The program still reviews the combined picture and may request a different arrangement.

The hour plan must come from the student's program record. Nationally, NTF recommends a 750-hour direct patient care minimum for an NP population focus, and the FNP certification bodies publish a 500-hour faculty-supervised eligibility floor. Neither figure is presented here as University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences's rule.

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

The clinician should actively provide primary care to the lifespan population the student needs. A title without matching practice is not enough. We document the candidate and setting for University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences to consider rather than declaring either one approved.

Begin with the geography the program approves, not an assumption based on the Little Rock listing. Primary care capacity may be broader or narrower than the school location suggests. Every proposed clinician and site still needs program review.

The FNP placement guide for Arkansas adds state-level context for family practice, community health, pediatric, adult, older adult, and reproductive care. Apply the exact location and approval rules confirmed by the student's program.

• The exact course, clinical objectives, term dates, and remaining approved hours
• The approved geography, lifespan populations, primary care setting, and required experiences
• The proposed clinician's license, certification, specialty, primary care role, and availability
• The site's practice setting, patient mix, and opportunities tied to the objectives
• Every current preceptor, site, compliance, and submission form supplied by the program

A strong packet connects evidence to the course. Include the proposed preceptor's credentials and primary care role, the site's patient mix, the expected experiences, dates, schedule, and every program form the student has received.

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

This is independent placement support, not a school service or endorsement. We can source and organize a candidate file for University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences to review, but we cannot promise placement, acceptance, contracts, credentialing, or a timeline.
