SOURCE Online Preceptor Modules

Welcome to SOURCE's Online Preceptor Modules! These modules were created to prepare you to work effectively with students through SOURCE service-learning projects, whether through long-term projects or short-term courses. Although these modules are designed for preceptors who are working on scholarly or academic projects with students, these modules are useful for anyone working with Hopkins health professional students.

SOURCE requires partners working with students as a part of a course and other engagement opportunities to complete the module every three years. Once you complete the required modules and successfully complete the quiz, a certificate will be generated. Please send your certificate to SOURCE@jhu.edu.
