Preceptorship

Policy for Inviting Students for Clinical Experiences

  1. Axis may allow students from Contracted Colleges for Clinical Hours. It must be understood that

    because it is a competitive placement, there is no guarantee of placement.

  2. Students must be in good academic standing with their college to apply

  3. Axis does not accept students for their first clinical because: students are overwhelmed by the pace and challenges of a community health center that serves patient who are primarily better served in languages other than English, and many students in their first (or second clinical) have not been exposed to documentation in an Electronic Health Records platform which results a waste of valuable clinical time.

  1. Students are accepted for one clinical at a time.

  2. Before beginning ALL students must complete “on boarding” to include compliance and HIPAA compliance and other assigned training.

  3. Student interested in a second clinical must apply for a second review in writing.

  4. Axis must have a collaborative contract with the Student’s College.

  5.  Current Clinical Contracts

    2. The Des Moines College of Osteopathic Medicine
    3. The University of Minnesota
    4. St. Catherine’s University
    5. Walden University
    6. Winona State University 
  6. If a student is from a college other than those contracted, the first step is to initiate a collaborative contract. The student must contact their college and ask that their placement office to initiate a contract.
    * Please note: contracts typically take several months. 

  7.  Axis serves a population with an increased risk associated with for example the SARS-CoV2 pandemic, and/or other public health risks.
