Preceptor Program: The PENS Preceptor Program is a unique benefit exclusively for members of the Pediatric Endocrinology Nursing Society (PENS). The PENS Education Committee developed the program to help nurses new to the specialty. Now in its 8th year, the PENS Preceptor Program matches nurses (preceptees) with one of PENS’ 12 experts in the field of pediatric endocrinology nursing (preceptors) for a 1–3 day observational visit to the preceptor’s work setting.

The long-range plan is to incorporate independent study to obtain contact hours with potential development into a textbook.
