Click Cancel rotation if you no longer want to continue your application.
Click Save and submit request once your application is complete to formally submit your application to the clinical site.
Once you submit, your application will automatically transition from Unsubmitted status to Pending status: it will remain in pending status until all application steps have been verified and the Clinical Site accepts your application. It will then move into onboarding status. At that time, you can begin completing your onboarding steps.
Complete Onboarding Steps
If your application is accepted, your clinical experience information will move into Onboarding status. This means you have site-specific onboarding steps to complete. Make sure to complete the steps on time so you're ready for your first day!
To view and complete onboarding steps:
Click on the clinical experience card to open the details window.
In the details, you can view information about your clinical experience.
Scroll down to view and access your onboarding steps that require completion.
Note: Sometimes individual onboarding steps will need to be completed by a school or clinical site coordinator. If that step hasn't been completed yet, your rotation will remain in Onboarding status until the coordinator has completed it.
Once these steps are complete and/or verified (if applicable), your clinical experience will move into Ready status.
