Previously, ACIs had to be credential for at least one year. I no longer see that listed in the 2012 Standards. Is that no longer required by CAATE? Can that be an institutional decision now?

There is no longer an ‘ ACI ’ designation or a requirement for the preceptor to be credentialed for a year. The program, however, should evaluate the newly credentialed healthcare professional’s ability to provide quality clinical education experiences for students in the program while they themselves are transitioning to practice.
