Clinical rotations in Maryland

Students and preceptors on Precept Now come from across Maryland, including Baltimore, Columbia, Silver Spring, Bethesda, Frederick, Annapolis and Salisbury. 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 Maryland

Baltimore: two major academic medical centers and a dense network of hospitals.
Suburban Maryland near D.C.: Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, including Bethesda, Silver Spring and Rockville.
Columbia and Howard County: suburban practices between Baltimore and D.C..
Frederick and Western Maryland: Hagerstown and Cumberland, with Appalachian rural communities.
The Eastern Shore: Salisbury and rural communities across the Chesapeake Bay.

Maryland’s two big metro areas are competitive for clinical placements, so it pays to also consider Western Maryland or the Eastern Shore.

Maryland NP practice environment

Maryland is classified as a full practice state by AANP. Nurse practitioners licensed by the Maryland Board of Nursing can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret tests, and prescribe without a required physician collaboration or supervision agreement. Maryland NPs can practice independently once certified by the Board of Nursing.

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