supervision. (a) The Board may, upon the written request of a nursing home administrator who wishes to act as a preceptor, register an individual as a nursing home administrator-in-training under the following circumstances: (1) The preceptor has submitted that preceptor's own request in a form approved by the Board; (2) The preceptor has been licensed in this State or in any other jurisdiction for at least the 2 years immediately prior to date of the written request; (3) The written request includes a clear statement by the preceptor agreeing to act as preceptor for the individual for whom that preceptor is seeking registration; (4) The written request includes a clear statement by the preceptor of the specific functions and responsibilities that the individual for whom the preceptor is seeking registration will perform; (5) The written request includes a clear statement by both the preceptor and the individual for whom that preceptor is seeking registration indicating that the individual has met the requirements of § § 5208 and 5209(a)(4) through (a)(6) of this title; and (6) The written request includes, as attachments when necessary, evidence satisfactory to the Board supporting the veracity of the statement required by paragraph (a)(5) of this section. (b) Persons presented to the Board by a preceptor shall provide a notarized statement to the Board that they will: (1) Only perform those specific functions which have been delineated in the preceptor's statement; (2) Only practice under the direct supervision of a preceptor; and (3) Not represent themselves to the public, residents, or patients as licensed nursing home administrators. (c) The preceptor shall be responsible and available to provide direction, observation, aid, training, and instruction to the administrator- in-training, including the submission of progress reports. This is an interactive process between the preceptor and the administrator-in- training intended to ensure the extent, quality, and scope of experience of the duties performed as a nursing home administrator. (d) The Board, in its regulations, shall determine the number of nursing home administrators-in-training that a preceptor may supervise and the requirements of their supervision.
