Clinical Rotations

CLINICAL ROTATIONS

Student clinical rotations are scheduled through the individual’s university or college program clinical placement coordinator.  The university or college clinical placement coordinator requests placements from participating/affiliated clinical facilities at prescribed times.  Placements are typically made 6 months prior to the start of a clinical rotation. Affiliation agreements must be in place between the university or college and the clinical facility.

Students and faculty are discouraged from cold-calling clinical facilities for a preceptor or for rotation availability. This must be done through your school coordinator.  Please contact your faculty at your Academic Institution if you have any questions about clinical rotations/placements.
