Conflict of Interest Policy

It is a potential conflict of interest for students to begin placements at facilities and/or with preceptors who are previously known to them either personally or professionally. Prior relationships can consciously or unconsciously impact current relationships and influence the evaluation of the student. It is the responsibility of the student to notify their Fieldwork Coordinator if he/she has been matched at a facility or with a preceptor with whom she has already had a relationship of any kind to determine if a conflict of interest is present and how it should best be managed.
