CLINICALFACILITIES Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts has entered into affiliation agreements with clinical facilities that provide students with experiences in many areas following program requirements. Students are assigned to clinical experiences in hospitals and various outpatient centers in the community. Clinical site availability varies and is closely managed by the Program Coordinators and Outreach Department to provide students with experiences to meet each discipline requirement. The clinical experiences help students gain experience that prepares them for entry-level positions in the medical field. In cases of incidents/accidents occurring on the premises of Clinical Sites, please see our Safety Policy.

TRAVELDISCLOSURE Every attempt is made to place a student as close to home as possible. However, clinical experiences are often limited by the number of students living within a specific geographic region and the number of clinical sites available. In addition, students may be required to rotate between clinical sites during their clinical education to ensure all students receive equitable, high-quality clinical education during their training. All students must be prepared and willing to commit to any travel time required to achieve the program’s educational goals. Students may be required to travel more than an hour to clinical sites. Travel to a clinical site varies and can be over 100 miles (160.93 km) one way from campus. In addition, some of our programs may occasionally conduct labs at our clinical sites.
