Sign Up
The first step is to sign up for a FREE Clinical Match Me account.
Submit Placement Requests
Next, log into your account, navigate to the Placements screen and submit an NP Preceptor Placement Request. This step is essential! In order to match you with a Nurse Practitioner preceptor, we need specific information from the NP Preceptor Placement Request, including:
- Estimated start date and end dates for your clinical rotation
- Specialty
- Approximate number of hours
- Geographic regions such as states or zip codes you’re willing to travel to
We urge you to submit an NP Preceptor Placement Request immediately after signing up. We can’t start the matching process until we receive your Placement Request, so don’t delay! If you need placement for multiple clinical rotations, it’s best to submit them all at once.
Receive Offers From Preceptors
After you submit a Placement Request, our NP preceptor finder system automatically notifies matching Nurse Practitioner preceptors. They can then review your Placement Request and profile and the interested ones will send you Offers.
This is one of the key differences between Clinical Match Me and other preceptor placement companies. With other companies, you have to pay a deposit first and then hope a preceptor accepts you. With Clinical Match Me, you don’t pay anything until AFTER a preceptor has sent you an offer.
Evaluate Preceptors
With other companies, you’re at the mercy of preceptors. With Clinical Match Me, YOU decide which offers to accept. Many of our students receive multiple offers. Most students are placed within a few days to a week or two.
However, if you have a difficult placement, such as an unusual specialty, or an area with few Nurse Practitioner preceptors, we automatically activate AI Preceptor Outreach. Unique to Clinical Match Me, our AI Preceptor Outreach system automatically starts contacting out-of-network doctors and NPs and attempts to recruit them as preceptors, specifically for your rotation.
Each offer you receive will contain the preceptor’s location, specialties, CV and other important information. You can message the NP preceptors to ask them additional questions, or to request a video interview. You only pay AFTER accepting an offer.
Accept an Offer and Pay
After you’ve decided on a preceptor, click the Accept Offer button in your account. You’ll receive the student agreement to e-sign and you’ll be directed to our payment form.
The offer price is all-inclusive. It includes both our fee and the preceptor’s honorarium. You will NEVER have to pay anything additional to the preceptor.
You can pay up-front, or select one of our payment plans which range from 2 – 24 months. We offer a Money Back Guarantee that protects you from adverse actions by your school or your preceptor.
Submit Preceptor for Approval
Finally, you’ll need to submit your preceptor for approval by your school. You can upload your school’s paperwork to our secure platform. We’ll then forward it to the preceptor and return the completed documents back to you.
If your school rejects the preceptor for any reason whatsoever, just send us the rejection letter and we’ll give you a full refund!

Just the FAQs
Most preceptor placement companies fall into one of two categories:
- Mass-production – Churns through students and plugs them into pre-set rotations.
- Bespoke – Highly personalized. Places students individually with carefully selected preceptors.
With Clinical Match Me, you get the best of both worlds. We’re one of the most affordable companies, yet we offer a bespoke level of service. This is only possible because of our proprietary technology platform that automates much of the process.
90% of our preceptors offer flat rate pricing of $1,995 for rotations up to 250 hours. See our Pricing page for more details.
Yes! When you receive an offer from a preceptor, that’s the total all-inclusive price. To book the rotation, you just pay us the offer amount. There’s never a separate payment to the preceptor.
- We guarantee that your school will approve your preceptor. If your school rejects the preceptor, just send us a copy of the rejection letter and we’ll issue a refund immediately.
- We guarantee that your preceptor will follow through. If the preceptor cancels or disappears you’ll receive a full refund.
Please note that “for cause” terminations are not covered by the guarantee.
We literally invented the preceptor placement industry. Clinical Match Me was founded by a Nurse Practitioner who couldn’t graduate on time due to the difficulty in finding preceptors. We’ve been doing this since 2014.
Clinical Match Me is the ZERO RISK NP preceptor placement company.
We have the largest preceptor network by far, plus our advanced outreach technology platform automatically contacts preceptors outside our network. We have hundreds of 5-star reviews on Google and Trustpilot.
Many students find a preceptor within 24-hours of submitting a placement request. Others take longer. It’s impossible to generalize because there are many factors, such as your specialty, school requirements, geographic requirements, etc.
However, we’ve successfully placed many students who tried multiple preceptor placement companies before coming to us.
