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. 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.
