FNP preceptor support for University of Virginia students

• Program: Family Nurse Practitioner
• School: University of Virginia
• Directory location: Charlottesville, Virginia
• Verified pathways: MSN
• 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

The evidence explains why University of Virginia appears in this directory. It cannot be stretched into a claim about how the school arranges placements, which clinicians it accepts, whether a course is online, or how many hours a particular student needs.

As of July 22, 2026, the official links below identify MSN for the FNP specialty at University of Virginia. That supports directory inclusion and pathway labeling only. It does not authorize us to infer a practicum rule from a degree or certificate name.

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

Across-the-lifespan reasoning connects pediatric, adult, older adult, preventive, chronic, and reproductive care. The student should plan from the objectives rather than assume a fixed national rotation pattern. The current program retains the final decision on the required populations and setting fit.

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 record identifies MSN. Those credential labels help route the inquiry, but they do not reveal the student's entry point, course sequence, remaining hours, clinical dates, or placement responsibility. Bring the exact course and current plan of study into the search.

A useful clinical request names what the student must actually do under supervision. Define the target ages, patient mix, primary care setting, skills, continuity needs, and expected participation. That detail lets a prospective preceptor assess fit without making promises on the program's behalf.

National figures are context, not a University of Virginia requirement. The 2022 NTF standards recommend at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP population focus. ANCC and AANPCB FNP certification eligibility materials use at least 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours. Programs may set different totals and distributions, so confirm the student's exact requirement.

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.

Preceptor screening asks whether the clinician's credential and real work align with the approved FNP objectives. Primary care nurse practitioners and physicians may be search candidates, but the program controls the final eligibility rules and may define additional acceptable roles.

Use Charlottesville as directory context only. Residence, state authorization, licensure, commuting limits, and course instructions may produce a different search radius. No city or state reference on this page promises availability.

For wider geographic context, read the FNP placement guide for Virginia. It describes the state's primary care landscape without assigning a policy to University of Virginia or claiming that a named practice accepts students.

• 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.

The first useful step is a complete clinical brief rather than a broad request for any preceptor. Share the student's approved requirements through the matching form. We can then search for primary care fit without claiming authority we do not have.

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