Samaritan is proud to partner with schools around the Northwest to provide a variety of clinical rotations, internships/externships and practicum placements for academic credit.
Eligible applicants must apply 45+ days in advance and be attending a school program with an existing clinical affiliation agreement.
Applications submitted less than 45 days, or without an existing clinical affiliation agreement, will be declined.
Eligibility, Process & Timeline
Student eligibility requires the following:
Once your application is received and eligibility determined, Samaritan’s Student Services will work to find/confirm an eligible preceptor for your experience. Upon preceptor assignment, a confirmation email will be sent to the student indicating the onboarding steps that are required to obtain clearance. Once onboarding is complete, the student and preceptor will receive the clearance email authorizing the experience to begin. Student Experiences are not allowed to begin without the clearance email.
Students applications vary in complexity and timeline. Generally, we attempt to match eligible students with a preceptor within 45 days of receiving an application. An email will be sent to the student to confirm a placement and provide next steps for onboarding.
