Process

When you are assigned a clinical rotation with a preceptor, the preceptor's site will require a set of documentation in order to "onboard" you with their agency. To be prepared for onboarding, the School of Health Sciences collects the documents dictated by the Clinical Placements Northwest Clinical Passport from all students and faculty.

Site-Specific Onboarding

If your site requires additional, site-specific documents or training our Clinical Placement Coordinator will notify you shortly after your placement has been confirmed.

Guidelines for Onboarding and Placement Submissions

In order to avoid delays, please note the following:

Unless otherwise noted, all documents should be submitted in PDF format.
- Do not take a photo of the document with your phone.
- Multi-Function Printers (MFP's) are located throughout campus and have the capability to scan a document. To learn more about MFP scanning options visit this site: https://wiki.spu.edu/display/HKB/MFP+Functions
- Unless otherwise noted, all hard copy documents should be scanned.
All signatures must be an actual signature, not typed. You may use a “digital” signature through Adobe Acrobat. To learn how to create your own signature, visit this site: https://helpx.adobe.com/reader/using/sign-pdfs.html
