Adjunct faculty status is a benefit provided to clinical preceptors as a form of gratitude for preceptor’s willingness to serve the nursing profession and their contribution to the clinical education of VUSN students. Preceptors must have completed at least one academic semester of service. Appointment to adjunct faculty status grants preceptors access to Vanderbilt’s campus and electronic libraries, faculty discount programs, and some VUSN courses. The process for requesting adjunct faculty status includes submission of a current Curriculum Vitae (CV), letter of interest, and two professional letters of reference. To begin the application process, please contact Allison Smith at alison.m.smith@vanderbilt.edu. Additional questions about adjunct faculty applications can be directed to the CAP program coordinator, Dr. Cole at Shannon.cole@vanderbilt.edu.
