Your Chamberlain practicum, secured — not chased.
Chamberlain has you find your own preceptor before a practicum course will even open. We source a qualified, agreement-ready preceptor, file the affiliation paperwork, and clear your site in Typhon — so a missing placement never costs you a term.
Chamberlain only helps after three denials. We start at zero.
Chamberlain's Practicum Commitment is support, not placement — the Experiential Learning Team steps in only once you've documented three formal preceptor denials. Drag through the ledger to see what that actually means, and where we come in.
The search is entirely on you.
From day one, Chamberlain expects you to find a licensed preceptor in your specialty, secure the site, and nominate them in Typhon — with no school help yet. This is where we start: we do that sourcing and the paperwork for you, so you never have to count denials at all.
Most students never reach denial three with us. The Practicum Commitment is your safety net — but we work the search from denial zero, so you don't lose a term waiting for it to unlock.

Family NP: five 125-hour practicum courses, primary care across the lifespan. We secure a preceptor for every rotation.
Logged in Typhon, cleared through CastleBranch — handled by us.
Built around how Chamberlain runs, not generic forms.
Chamberlain is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and its NP programs by the CCNE, and it runs practicum through Typhon and CastleBranch. We live in that exact process every term, so nothing stalls your start. We are an independent service — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Chamberlain University.
Chamberlain NP students, supported end to end.
Chamberlain's Practicum Commitment only kicks in after three denials, and I was already behind. They had a confirmed FNP site logged in my Typhon account in under two weeks, contract and all.
Cold-calling psych clinics on my own went nowhere. They matched me with a licensed PMHNP at an outpatient site and walked the affiliation agreement through before my next term started.
Acute-care preceptors are hard to find. They placed me at a hospitalist group and knew exactly what Typhon and CastleBranch wanted, so my site was approved on the first submission.

The Chamberlain practicum, answered.
Does Chamberlain find my preceptor for me?
No. Chamberlain requires you to secure your own preceptor and clinical site. The Practicum Commitment is a support program — coaching and a streamlined contracting procedure — not direct placement, and the Experiential Learning Team only helps locate alternatives after you document three formal denials. We do the sourcing and the paperwork for you from the start.
How many clinical hours do I need?
The MSN-FNP requires 625 supervised clinical hours across five 125-hour practicum courses. The other NP specialties run several practicum courses as well; we confirm your exact requirement against your program of study before you start, so you place against the right number.
What is Typhon, and why does it matter?
Typhon is the system Chamberlain NP students and preceptors use to log practicum hours and document the clinical experience. Your site has to be approved before your hours count, so we prepare and track that submission — and clear CastleBranch — so nothing stalls your start.
Do you cover my state?
Yes. We place nationwide, in person or virtual, and handle the state-specific affiliation and CastleBranch requirements for wherever you practice. Tell us your state on the consult and we map it.
Is Chamberlain Preceptor affiliated with Chamberlain University?
No. We are an independent clinical-placement service, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Chamberlain University. We help its students secure qualified preceptors.
