Complete the Schedule, Learning objectives, and Application steps.
Click Save changes at the top of the screen to save your work, and return to the application at a later time. To return to your application, simply click on the rotation card displayed on the Rotation dashboard.
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:
Rotation Onboarding
If your application is accepted, your rotation will move into Onboarding status. This means you have site-specific onboarding steps to complete.
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 rotation.
Scroll to the bottom of the window to access onboarding steps requiring 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, your clinical experience will move into Ready status.
