When the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio students may ask us to search for a candidate that fits the requirements they confirm. The program approves or declines every proposal, and directory inclusion should not be read as a statement of school policy.
Accreditation is the basis for listing University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, but accreditation is not a course instruction. A student still needs the current catalog, degree audit, handbook, and placement materials to verify pathway, course design, required hours, location limits, deadlines, and candidate qualifications.
As of the July 21, 2026 source review, CCNE records supported an accredited master's nursing degree at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. That is a useful verification point but a limited one. It cannot be used to infer available specialties, delivery method, field-experience hours, approval deadlines, mentor rules, or placement assistance.
Start with the documents controlling the student's actual term. The course number, pathway, objectives, dates, approved geography, setting type, candidate credentials, affiliation requirements, compliance items, and submission forms should all be confirmed before anyone contacts a potential site. Older catalogs or another university's rules are not reliable substitutes.
Direct patient-care learning may need a population-matched nurse practitioner or physician plus a setting that can support the intended encounters and supervision. A title alone is not enough: the program may review credentials, active practice, site access, conflicts, and documentation. This conditional example does not establish an NP offering or policy at University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
Non-NP field experiences can place the learning objective outside direct patient care. Education may involve teaching or professional development; leadership may involve systems, operations, administration, or quality. The proposed mentor needs experience that matches the confirmed course. Do not infer that University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio offers either option from its master's accreditation.
Informatics may call for a nurse informaticist or clinical systems professional working with analytics, implementation, workflow, or technology. Public health, community health, clinical nurse leader, care coordination, quality, and other pathways can point to still different mentors and settings. Use the MSN pathway guide to frame the distinction, then let the student's current program define the eligible role.
There is no universal MSN practicum total across schools and pathways. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Do not use a number from another institution, an older handbook, or a different concentration as University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's requirement. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office before calculating the request.
Our MSN hours resource shows why NP, education, leadership, informatics, public health, and other experiences should not share one assumed total. The current program must still state what this student needs and which portion a proposed person and site would supervise.
Use San Antonio, Texas as directory context only. A student's actual search area should come from current University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio guidance about authorized states, course location, site eligibility, and affiliation. Even inside an approved area, a willing professional or organization is not automatically an eligible match.
Read the MSN preceptor and practicum guide for Texas for geographic planning. Its examples are general and do not turn a person or site into an approved University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio placement.
Treat candidate sourcing and school approval as separate stages. We can organize role, credentials, site information, dates, objectives, availability, and requested documents for review. University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio alone decides whether the person and organization meet current course rules and whether any contracts, compliance steps, or additional forms are complete.
Confirm these items before outreach: the exact MSN pathway and course; whether an applied experience is required; the approved hours and dates; the eligible state and setting; the required preceptor or mentor credentials; the course objectives; any prohibited relationships; the affiliation and compliance process; every school and site form; and the submission deadline for the student's active term.
The MSN placement workflow separates requirement review, candidate sourcing, documentation, and school approval. That sequence helps avoid asking the wrong professional or site to participate. After the current pathway and course rules are confirmed, request a match to start an independent search.
MSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. We do not act for the institution, decide eligibility, or guarantee that a preceptor, mentor, or site will be found or approved. The program and proposed site retain their own review authority, and no outcome is promised.
It applies when the student's current MSN pathway or course requires a preceptor, mentor, or practicum site and the student has the current requirements needed for sourcing. University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio makes every approval decision.
No. The accreditation evidence establishes an accredited master's nursing degree on the verification date. It does not prove an NP concentration, education, leadership, informatics, public health, or another pathway, and it does not establish modality or placement policy.
There is no universal MSN practicum total. Required hours vary by program, pathway, course, and catalog year. Confirm the current handbook, degree audit, course instructions, and field placement office rather than relying on a generic number.
The answer follows the confirmed pathway and course. Direct-care NP, education, leadership, informatics, public health, quality, and other experiences can require different professionals and settings. The current program must approve the proposed role, credentials, site, and paperwork.
No. MSNPreceptor is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. We source and document possible candidates for program review and do not guarantee placement or approval.
