Nursing Student Clinical Placement
Welcome to the Clinical Placement Website! We are certain that students
will find their experience at Michigan Medicine both enriching and
rewarding as they progress toward their career as a RN or APRN.
This website is intended to provide information and streamline
the clinical placement process for both students and instructors.
For more information regarding placements and compliance requirements,
please read this page and click on the buttons below or navigate our website
on the left.
The Clinical Placement Office at Michigan Medicine oversees all nursing student placements across inpatient and ambulatory care settings. We coordinate placement locations for undergraduate students and ensure all compliance requirements are met before placements are approved. Graduate student placements are arranged directly with Michigan Medicine practitioners.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not coordinate preceptor placements, observer/shadowing opportunities, or nursing certifications. Please contact the unit/area for further information. You and the unit/area must follow all policy guidelines.
AFFILIATION AGREEMENTS
If you attend a non-University of Michigan nursing program, your school must have an active affiliation agreement with University of Michigan Health (UMH) at Michigan Medicine. Only our approved agreement templates will be accepted, and only authorized personnel may negotiate on behalf of Michigan Medicine. While minor revisions may be considered, significant changes cannot be accommodated. Please refer to our Affiliation Agreements page for full details and timeline requirements to begin the process.
CLINICAL PLACEMENT GUIDELINES
To ensure fairness and consistency:
- All placement requests must be submitted by the School of Nursing through ACEMAPP, a secure platform provided by the Michigan Health Council.
- All students and instructors, including UM Health employees, must enroll in ACEMAPP to complete onboarding and compliance requirements.
- Students and instructors should not contact Michigan Medicine staff directly regarding placements to ensure a fair and consistent process.
- Placement requests must adhere to all deadlines outlined in our Affiliation Agreement, ACEMAPP submission schedule, Secure Portal System access, and compliance requirements. See our CALENDAR PAGE for detailed dates.
PLACEMENT COORDINATOR RESPONSIBILTIES
It is the responsibility of each nursing school's clinical placement coordinator to ensure their students and instructors:
- Are familiar with the Michigan Medicine Clinical Placement website
- Understand how to navigate onboarding processes
- Know who to contact with questions or issues
