Enrollment for Year 3 of PREP LTC is now open.
(2023-24)
By enrolling in the Preceptor Resource and Education Program in Long-Term Care (PREP LTC) initiative, long-term care (LTC) homes will have access to:
- Support from Regional Engagement Liaisons.
- Funding to backfill preceptor time or as honoraria for preceptors.
- Funding to start up or expand a student placement coordinator role.
- Funding for preceptor education.
- Assessment of homes needs and barriers.
- Connections with post-secondary schools.

PREP LTC helps address the staffing needs of the LTC sector by providing funding, education and resources to Ontario LTC homes to build capacity for clinical student placements. The project also equips preceptors in LTC to support positive and successful student placements.
Our Goals

Identify solutions for addressing barriers and increasing capacity for clinical placements
Provide a positive, high-quality experience for students and preceptors
