Eligible practitioners include physicians, physician assistants, and advanced practice registered nurses in specialties such as family medicine, psychiatry, or obstetrics and gynecology. The exemption lasts for 12 months and requires practitioners to track and report their preceptorship hours to the Department of Health and Welfare.
