Supervised practice sites are selected based on their ability to provide students with an excellent learning experience. Students are not compensated for supervised practice and must not be used to replace employees.
The University enters into Academic Affiliation Agreement (“AAA”) with institutions, Organizations, and agencies (hereinafter “Facilities”) that provide supervised practice sites where students meet competencies required by ACEND. The AAA delineates the rights and responsibilities of both the Facility and the University. Periodic evaluation of adequacy and appropriateness of sites is completed at least every five years or sooner as required to renew the AAA. Representatives from the Facility and administrators from the university sign the written document.
Interns are placed in Facilities throughout Oklahoma to obtain supervised practice experience that meets ACEND competencies. Interns understand that they may be placed at any Facility in Oklahoma for any duration of the IP. Facility placements are not guaranteed and may be subject to change at any time due to preceptor availability, Facility availability, or other circumstances beyond the University’s control. While the IP will make reasonable efforts to reassign interns affected by the loss of a rotation site, interns also should understand that loss of a rotation site may result in a delay of graduation.
