Course Detail: Lunder-Dineen Maine Nurse Preceptor Education Program

The Maine Nursing Preceptor Education Program (MNPEP) is a nationally recognized professional development program designed to strengthen precepting and clinical teaching skills across healthcare settings. The program brings together clinicians and educators from a wide range of practice environments to build confidence, consistency, and effectiveness in the preceptor role. Participants complete a series of self-paced online modules followed by 2 half day, virtual workshops focused on applied learning, reflection, and skill-building with peers.
This program is referred to as the Maine Nursing Preceptor Education Program because it was envisioned and originally designed and developed by and for nurses in Maine. We are proud to share that its reach has now spread beyond Maine. Participants from across the United States are welcome to attend.
