* Please note that students are assigned to the specific facility for the particular clinical rotation. Every attempt is made to place a student as close to home as possible, however clinical rotations are often limited by the number of students living within a specific geographic region and by the number of clinical sites available in that area. In addition, students may be required to rotate between clinical sites during the course of their clinical education to ensure all students receive equitable high quality clinical education during their training. Due to the nature of traffic in Northern California, students may be required to travel several hours to clinical sites. All students must be prepared and willing to commit themselves to any travel time required to achieve the educational goals of the program. Rotation requirements will be presented to the student by their respective Clinical Coordinator and/ or Program Director. |
