90 NMT Clinical Rotations
CLINICAL ROTATIONS
Prerequisites to Clinical Rotations: See ‘Health’ section for required immunizations, health insurance and CPR training. Documentation of required information must be submitted prior to clinical practice.
During the program, the NMT Program Director assigns students to general area and specific area assignments of clinic practicum. In certain/special circumstances the NMT Program Director, in consultation with the clinical supervisors, can amend the rotation schedule to better serve the student’s needs. However this does not mean that a student may substitute one rotation for another when they do not like a particular clinical site or rotation. Except in a situation where a rotation or clinical site is no longer available, students are required to successfully complete every assigned clinical rotation. Students will be given their clinical schedule during orientation. The schedule is subject to change as variables out of the control of the program director, may occur.
*NMT Clinical Rotation Schedules are posted in Canvas each semester and posted in E*Value.
**NMT Clinical Site List with clinical start and end times, supervisor names, and contact phone numbers are posted in Clinical Canvas site.
**NMT Clinical Site Address and Parking Location document are posted in Clinical Canvas site. (Also, see Clinical Site Orientation power point presentation)
Request a Change in Rotation Schedule: A student who wants to request a change in a posted schedule must submit the request in writing, via email, to the program director at least one week before the date that the change would be effective. The student will be notified if the request has been approved or denied at least two days before the date in question.
