Onboarding steps - SCHOOL

1. REQUEST ROTATION

The school/student reaches out to the clinical department or instructor to seek an allied health rotation.

The department agrees to take the student and introduces via email the school coordinator to the Clinical Affiliation & Compliance specialist (CACS) at clinicalaffiliation@uhkc.org.

2. AFFLIATION AGREEMENT:

The CACS will verify a clinical affiliation agreement is in place with the school. If there is not an agreement, the CACS initiates the process with the approval of leadership.

After the agreement is in place, the CACS communicates to the school coordinator that the application can be submitted online.

3. APPLICATION & REVIEW:
