KADDI PRECEPTOR RESOURCES
We appreciate your willingness to serve as a preceptor for our dietetic interns. Preceptors play a critical role in the success of our internship and our interns. We express our gratitude for your time and dedication to precepting and advancing the field of dietetics.
Listed below is the KADDI preceptor handbook, describing the mission, goals, program outcomes, responsibilities as a preceptor, and how to reach the program director. The handbook also provides information regarding the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). During the internship, our interns perform core competencies by completing assignments during their supervised practice. The handbook provides step-by-step detailed instructions on how preceptors are expected to grade these assignments with an example rubric showing an assignment with its associated competencies. The preceptor handbook also contains the internship policies.
KADDI expects the highest level of effort and professionalism from our interns!
*Note: Preceptors cannot receive more than 3 CPEUs per year, even if they precept more than one student. CPEUs are based on the total amount of precepting hours, not students.
