Graduate Placement

Erlanger offers clinical training to students in a variety of graduate programs including (but not limited to):

• Physical Therapy
• Occupational Therapy
• Speech Language Pathology
• Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) - Nurse Practitioner, Educator, Informatics, Nurse Midwifery
• Physician Assistant (PA)

Clinical internships for graduate students are approved on a case-by-case basis. To be considered, candidates must be enrolled in a program that has a current contract with Erlanger. Students must complete the following prior to their clinical rotation. PT and OT students will also complete EXATT applications with applicable deadline. 

1. Complete the Online Application. After you complete the online application, Erlanger's Clinical Placement Coordinator will email you, asking you to complete steps 2 - 5 below.     

   Term Application Deadline	Student Notification	Student Documentation Due
   Fall: April 30	May 15	July 15
   Spring: October 15	November 1	December 15
   Summer: February 1	February 15	April 15

2. Schools must have a Clinical Affiliation Agreement (CAA) with Erlanger. If your application is approved and your school does not have a CAA, email Will Bozlee, Erlanger Clinical Resource Specialist, at clinical@erlanger.org to request one.
   
   
3. Students need to complete orientation on Total Clinical Placement System using your school’s password. If your school is not currently a member, email clinical@erlanger.org for instructions on how to create an associate member account. Once orientation is completed, email the completion certificates to your school for their records.
   
   
4. If your clinical rotation requires EHR access, please complete the appropriate EPIC access forms and submit them to clinical@erlanger.org and robin.debolt@erlanger.org
   
   • Confidentiality & Information Security Agreement  - email to clinical@erlanger.org
   • Request for EMR Access  - email to robin.debolt@erlanger.org
   • Instructor/Student Access Request Form - email to robin.debolt@erlanger.org
     
     
5. Have your school submit a Hospital Orientation Checklist. Academic institutions are responsible for maintaining current student files with all documents required on the Hospital Orientation Checklist. The only documents to be sent to Erlanger are your Online Application, EPIC access forms (if required), and the Hospital Orientation Checklist. Final approval cannot be determined until the orientation checklist is complete and returned to Will Bozlee at clinical@erlanger.org.
