Contacting Clinical Facilities
Any student wishing to contribute to the process of identifying potential clinical education facilities, including a potential preceptor, is invited to communicate this information to the clinical education office and the track coordinator at least six weeks in advance of the planned clinical experience. The clinical education office and track coordinators will contact the potential facility and preceptor and are responsible for ensuring the appropriateness of a preceptor and agency relative to the student’s educational program and objectives and for establishing a contractual relationship with the clinical agency. No student, family member of a student, or friend/acquaintance of a student is permitted to arrange a clinical placement directly.
