Due to the extremely large number of nurse practitioner students requesting rotations, please note that we are unable to fulfill all requests we receive. NP students attending in-state schools will receive first priority. Requests for in-state students will be filled in the order requests are received. Again we do not have the capacity to fill all requests received!
Out of State Students
Students attending out-of-state schools should note placements are first scheduled for students attending in-state schools.
When available, the center provides health professions student support to out-of-state institutions. In order to access available clinical placement sites in the region, the school (preferably the coordinator) works directly with AHEC staff to coordinate the clinical placement at a cost of $100/placement.
