Fieldwork Educator Incentives

We value opportunities to recognize and support your teaching and clinical expertise, and opportunities to partner with you in developing quality learning experiences for our students.

Incentives

  1. Certificates of appreciation (available upon request) recognizing hours spent in student instruction. You can use this document to verify CEU units for state licensure or NBCOT renewal.
  2. Access to online resources for fieldwork educator training. A list of current online training resources will be provided upon request.
  3. Campus library privileges are now available upon your request. As a fieldwork educator you can gain access to the excellent library materials available through the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences library.
