Advanced Practitioner Students
Clinical Rotations for Advanced Practitioner Students
Based on the high demand for Advanced Practitioner (AP) student placement at Baystate Health, we have implemented a centralized process for requesting clinical rotations. All clinical placement requests for any Baystate hospital, clinic, or practice must use this process. Our central process involves working with our Preferred Academic Institutions with affiliation agreements to place their enrolled Advanced Practitioner students with preceptors willing to accommodate their clinical internships. Institutions and students should not contact any Baystate Heath provider or entity directly.
Baystate Health aims to develop a high-performing workforce by:
- Strengthening the link between academic partnerships and workforce development activities.
- Training the next generation of providers to deliver team-based, patient-centered care.
- Supporting current employees in career advancement.
- Have a purposeful connection to workforce planning and provide a training program that will endow trainees with skills that Baystate Health needs in the delivery of its mission.
- Provide financial support to cover precepting costs AND/OR reciprocal benefits for Baystate Health or its employees, i.e. continuing education units, fee discounts, and/or joint appointments.
- Provide good value for current and future employees and be not-for-profit when possible.
Preferred Nurse Practitioner (or Graduate Nursing Program) Institutions
- American International College (AIC)
- Elms College
- University of Connecticut - Neonatal Nurse Practitioner students only
- University of Massachusetts Amherst
- University of Massachusetts Medical School Graduate School of Nursing
Preferred Physician Assistant Institutions
Please note: Due to high demand from our preferred Affiliations, Baystate Health will not be entering into any new affiliation agreements.
For current Baystate Health employees attending a non-affiliated academic institution looking for a clinical placement, please contact advpracstureq@baystatehealth.org to request a clinical rotation. Please provide information on the school and program you are matriculated in, the type of NP track, preferred clinical rotation dates, and clinical hours needed.
