How long is a preceptor's license valid for?

A preceptor's license is valid for one year from the date of issuance. This regulation is in place to ensure that preceptors maintain current knowledge and skills necessary to effectively educate and supervise pharmacy students. The one-year validity ensures that preceptors are periodically reassessed and can remain up-to-date with any changes in regulations, practice standards, and advancements in the pharmacy field.

While some licenses in the healthcare profession may have different renewal cycles or conditions, the specific annual renewal requirement for preceptors is intended to promote quality training and adherence to up-to-date practices in pharmacy education. Therefore, upon reaching the end of this period, preceptors need to meet the renewal requirements to continue their role in teaching and supervising students.
