Undergraduate Student Clinical
​Placement Process

Please check with your school representative if you have a question about COVID-19 vaccination documentation or requirements as they may vary amongst organizations. 

After your school has confirmed a clinical opporutinity for you, you will work with your school contact to complete the following requirements and submit all information to your school, not the healthcare facility.
Advocate Aurora Health - Nursing and Medical Assistants please go to Nursing & MA Clinical Placement. All other disciplines will follow FVHCA requirements. 

Step 1:  Health Requirements/Background Checks (Note:  school should have these  already, but verify with school contact that they are current):
Step 2: Complete General Orientation Requirements before coming onsite, starting with the online modules below:  
​1. Student Orientation Professional Expectation Module
​2. Student Orientation HIPAA Privacy and Security Module
3.​ Student Orientation Infection Prevention
4. Safety in the Workplace
Step 3: Complete a Facility Specific Orientation: 
(If you are utilizing an organization not listed below, jump to Step #3.) 
Step 4: Complete and Submit Forms to School:
Read, review, print off and sign Forms A, B, & C and turn them in to your school representative.  Your signature indicates acceptance of responsibility for information presented.  For electronic signature, use Internet Explorer as it will not work in Chrome.
Form A: Confidentiality Agreement
​Form B: Module Completion
​Form C: Healthcare Facility Specific Orientation Completion
Form C information: If you did an online facility specific orientation in Step #3, fill this out with the date you completed, and send to your school for record keeping.  If an online is not available, print, fill out and sign after you complete onsite orientation and department safety walk.  Then - send it to your school for record keeping.   We do audit that it was returned to school since it is a regulatory requirement.
Next steps:  After school submits the RIF, your student access will be set up and documentation done - an email will be sent out to the student, school rep, and onsite preceptor with further student information prior to clinical start date- at that time, the student is welcome to contact his/her onsite preceptor regarding a schedule of hours within the approved date range. Thank you!
