· This Preceptor Commitment Form is student, course, term, site, and location specific, for compliance purposes. Thus, a form is required to be completed for each student for each course, term and for each site location where practicum will occur.
· The Field Experience staff at Walden will work directly with the administrator at your facility to establish an affiliation agreement, which is a legal agreement directly with the practicum site, which is different from this “Preceptor Commitment Form”.
· Upon final approval of the student’s practicum application, you will receive a confirmation email with a Preceptor Orientation.
Policy on Electronic Signatures:
Walden University manages the practicum application processes in a nearly paperless environment, which requires reliance on verifiable electronic signatures, as regulated by the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Legally, an “electronic signature” can be the person’s typed name, his or her e-mail address, or any other identifying marker. An electronic signature is just as valid as a written signature if both parties have agreed to conduct the transaction electronically. The Field Experience Coordinator for the College of Nursing will verify any electronic signatures that do not originate from a password protected source (i.e., an e-mail address officially on file with Walden University). The preceptor’s e-mail address provides authentication for electronic signature and thus must match the e-mail address contained in the student’s application for field experience.
