What needs to be done before you can come to VA for a Student Clinical Experience?

A limited number of paid student positions occur each academic year that are funded by the Office of Academic Affiliations. These paid positions vary by site and may include trainees in nursing, social work, psychology, occupational & physical therapy, and audiology & speech therapy. Students are selected by the school and VA site.

The college or university must have a complete and up to date Affiliation Agreement signed between VA and the school.

The school must contact the Education Office to determine whether VA has appropriate staff to serve as preceptors or clinical directors of training to supervise and work with you, as a student.
