Students and preceptors on Precept Now come from across Maine, including Portland, Bangor, Lewiston-Auburn, Augusta and Presque Isle. You can search for preceptors by specialty and location, then reach out directly to arrange paperwork, schedules and site requirements with your school.

Major areas for rotations in Maine

Greater Portland: the state’s largest health system and its densest concentration of specialty care.
Bangor and Eastern Maine: a regional referral center for much of the state.
Lewiston-Auburn and Augusta: central Maine hospitals and the capital region.
Midcoast and Downeast: coastal communities with seasonal population swings.
Aroostook County: Presque Isle and The County, one of the most rural regions in New England.

Maine has one of the oldest populations in the country, so adult-gerontology and primary care students find strong rotation demand, especially in rural areas.

Maine NP practice environment

Maine is classified as a full practice state by AANP. Nurse practitioners licensed by the Maine State Board of Nursing can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret tests, and prescribe without a required physician collaboration or supervision agreement. New Maine NPs practice for 24 months under the supervision of a physician or experienced NP before practicing independently.

Practice laws change often. Confirm current rules with the Maine State Board of Nursing and AANP’s State Practice Environment map.
