Beacon Health System is committed to providing high-quality clinical education experiences for Advanced Practice Clinician (APC) students while\u00a0developing\u00a0the next generation of clinicians who will serve our communities.<\/p>\n
APC student rotations may include learners enrolled in programs to become Physician Assistants (PAs), Nurse Practitioners (NPs), Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs), and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs).<\/p>\n
Approved APC students receive\u00a0appropriate access\u00a0to Beacon clinical systems and documentation tools based on their clinical experience needs.<\/p>\n
All requests for APC student clinical rotations within Beacon Health System must be\u00a0submitted\u00a0through the centralized APC clinical education process.<\/p>\n
Applications may be completed by the student or an authorized representative from the student’s academic program.<\/p>\n
