How to Apply for a Student Clinical Experience

Plan and coordinate your clinical experience at UNC Health Johnston with your school.

  • Clinical preceptors should already be secured by student and school before applying for UNC Health Johnston clinical experience clearance.
  • Begin the clinical experience clearance process by emailing your interest in performing a clinical experience at UNC Health Johnston to renee.lett@unchealth.unc.edu, including the provider name and medical discipline the rotation will be for.
  • Your school needs to have a current affiliation agreement with UNC Health Johnston. Some colleges and universities currently partner with us.
  • If your school isn't a current partner with UNC Health Johnston, an affiliation agreement will need to be secured. This process could take up to two months to complete.

If an agreement is needed, the student medical education coordinator will work directly with the school representative for completion.
