The clinical experiences are structured to provide skill and practice in diagnostic techniques, quality assurance, and interpreting and reporting patient results. The clinical experience is an integral part of the curriculum and students pay regular tuition and fees for enrollment. The preceptorship sites are located throughout the United States. The availability of preceptorship sites for the MP program is based not only on a contractual agreement between the facility providing the preceptorship (usually a hospital, reference laboratory, or university laboratory) and the program but on the ability of the affiliate to accommodate a student in a given semester. Students are expected to be prepared to relocate to complete their assigned preceptorship. The clinical affiliates are committed to teaching and are adequately staffed for service without student assistance. Students are under supervision at all times. Students must not be substituted as regular staff during their Preceptorship. Stipends and scholarships toward a student's education do not imply employment and do not allow student responsibility for direct patient and/or reportable work during scheduled educational periods.
