Clinical training is broken
The match between students and preceptors shouldn't be this hard.
Every year, thousands of graduate students spend months hunting for someone to train them, while the clinicians doing that training go completely unrecognized for it. We're building the place where that changes.
Choose your path. Joining takes 30 seconds — just early access.
Why this keeps happening
The system was built for programs, not people.
Existing tools help schools track where students go. They don't help students find preceptors, and they don't do anything for preceptors at all. The supply side of clinical training has always been invisible: a favor economy built on goodwill that eventually runs out.

Two sides of the same problem.
Whether you need hours or have hours to give, precept.ly meets you where you are. Choose your path to see what's in it for you.
You need clinical hours. Finding a preceptor is somehow your problem.
Cold emails, voicemails, asking classmates' contacts, all while you're trying to finish your program. There has to be a better way to find the right preceptor and actually get a response.
You teach the next generation of clinicians. Nobody gives you credit for it.
You prepare, supervise, evaluate, and sign off, all on top of a full patient load. The time you give is real. Precept.ly makes sure it counts.

We're the guide — you stay the hero of your own training.
Search the map
Filter by specialty and stipend. See who's available and verified — no more guessing who's taking students.
Request a placement
Send a structured request with your program details. Preceptors triage serious, credentialed requests — and actually respond.
Connect & credential
Once matched, messaging unlocks. Affiliation agreements and hour tracking are handled in-app, and preceptors get credit for the work.
What success looks like
- Students find the right preceptor and get a real response — no more cold-email lottery.
- Preceptors get credit for the time they give, with stipends that reflect the real work.
- A connected pipeline from student to graduate to clinician, built on trust.
What we help you avoid
- Months of hunting, cold calls, and voicemails that never get a reply.
- Preceptors buried in unvetted requests, with no recognition for the training they provide.
- A system where who you know matters more than who's qualified to teach.
