We help DNP students enrolled at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor find program-approvable project mentors, preceptors, and practicum sites. The school makes every approval decision, and our independent role is to source a match around the requirements you confirm.
The directory evidence confirms the DNP listing, but it is not a substitute for the current catalog, handbook, or placement instructions. Check the official school website before relying on a pathway, specialty, hour total, or approval process.
We included University of Michigan, Ann Arbor because the current CCNE directory lists its Doctor of Nursing Practice program. The listing was checked July 21, 2026 and should not be stretched into an unsupported claim about track design or placement procedure. Verify those items directly with the program.
Begin with the course number, term dates, required practice setting, mentor or preceptor credentials, location limits, and every form your program expects. If the course includes both a scholarly project and direct-care practice, separate those needs so each proposed person and site can be evaluated for the work they will actually supervise.
A DNP scholarly project needs a practice setting where the student can examine a real care or systems problem, introduce an approved change, and evaluate results. Suitable settings may include health systems, hospitals, clinics, public health programs, long-term care organizations, or community services. The right setting depends on the approved project question, access to the intended population, and the site's capacity to support the work.
The project mentor must fit both the proposed work and University of Michigan, Ann Arbor's current credential rules. A DNP-prepared nurse, physician, nurse executive, quality leader, or another qualified practice expert may fit in some programs, but the title alone never establishes eligibility. We screen for role alignment and send the documented candidate to the program for its own review.
AACN describes the DNP as requiring at least 1,000 supervised post-baccalaureate practice hours. The total assigned within a particular pathway, and the treatment of qualifying prior master's hours, varies by program. Do not use a generic number as University of Michigan, Ann Arbor's requirement. Confirm your own degree audit and course sequence first, then source against the remaining approved need.
Direct-care practice and systems practice do not always call for the same supervisor. Population-focused care may need a board-certified nurse practitioner or physician, while leadership or quality work may fit another qualified expert. Use the DNP clinical hours guide for the cumulative framework, then apply the program's current role criteria.
Start with the student's approved geography, not an assumption based on the campus address in Ann Arbor. A site in Michigan or another authorized location still has to meet the course objectives, support the intended work, and provide an eligible mentor who will participate in the school's review process.
Use our DNP placement guide for Michigan alongside this school page when planning geography. It identifies common site categories, while the student's program still decides what is eligible.
An approval-ready file identifies the proposed person's role, credentials, site, availability, and connection to the planned work. We assemble those facts for University of Michigan, Ann Arbor's review. Any affiliation contract, compliance item, background check, authorization decision, or additional form remains under the program's process.
Policies can change after a catalog or accreditation listing is published. Use the official school site linked below to locate the current handbook and confirm each item with your program. We will work from the requirements you provide and will not substitute a rule from another school.
If a suitable mentor or practicum site is still missing after you confirm the requirements, send us the course, dates, location, setting, population focus, project topic, and approval documents. Our placement process starts with that evidence, and the program retains final authority over every match.
