Who is a field instructor, a field liaison and a preceptor?
A field instructor is an MSW with two years post-degree experience who supervises and provides the learning experiences of the student at the field placement site. In the event, that the agency has no direct MSW, the student will have a preceptor who works at the agency and who will direct the daily learning experiences of the student. However, even with a preceptor situation, the student is always assigned a MSW field instructor. A field liaison is usually a faculty or adjunct faculty member who is assigned to the student and field agency. The field liaison’s primary duties are to provide open communication and educational consultation between the agency, and the college and student.
