    ObjectiveTo determine volunteer preceptors' perceived value and desired frequency of quality assurance visits by experiential education faculty members.MethodsAn electronic survey instrument was sent to 235 volunteer preceptors.ResultsA 71.5% response rate was achieved. Nearly 90% of respondents indicated that onsite visits met their needs. Approximately 50% of respondents preferred monthly onsite visits, 17% preferred every other month, and 32% preferred once per year.ConclusionsA quality assurance program for preceptors and experiential sites that includes onsite visits from experiential education faculty members meets multiple needs of the college and the preceptors. More research is needed to determine the impact of this method of quality assurance on experiential education.
