Preceptorship and Telehealth: Nurse Practitioners ’ Perspectives

During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, universities and preceptors pivoted to telehealth as a learning method. The purpose of our study was to describe nurse practitioner (NP) experiences of preceptorship while using telehealth. This was a phenomenological study using semi-structured interviews and a demographic survey. The sample included 27 NPs. Four major themes arose: (1) barriers encountered during the clinical experience, (2) strategies to overcome barriers, (3) augmenting clinical education, and (4) transforming clinical education via telehealth.
