A preceptorship is a hands-on training arrangement where a practicing health care provider directly supervises and instructs a student — and currently, those providers typically do this work without compensation. This bill creates a new "Preceptor Fund" that the Department of Health and Human Services can use to pay physicians, physician assistants, and advanced practice registered nurses who supervise students from Utah-based medical, nursing, or physician assistant programs for at least 160 hours. The fund is built from private donations and any future legislative appropriations, and the bill requires the Division of Professional Licensing to offer health care providers the option to donate to the fund when they apply for or renew their licenses.
