We review applications periodically throughout the year, and we assess our APP placement opportunities regularly. See the following table for the specific deadlines and clinical rotation periods.

You should submit your application at least four to six months in advance of the rotation. Submitting a request does not guarantee placement. Email your complete application to appstudents@ochsner.org

Late applications or forms will not be accepted. Any outstanding forms past the due date will cause you to forfeit your Ochsner preceptor.

New forms are required each semester. An application and datasheet is required for each preceptor. The attestation should be signed and submitted by a school official, NOT the student. Please download and save the forms using the format Name. Form. Semester Year.pdf. For example the application would be JohnDoe.application.spring2019.pdf.

Accepted students will be required to review these links:

• Student Expectations
• Accessing EPIC
• Student and Faculty COVID-19 Protection Plan

and provide the following documents:

• HIPAA Confidentiality Statement
• Student Handbook Agreement

Submit these required forms to appstudents@ochsner.org no later than the date from the table related to your requested clinical rotation period. Late forms will not be accepted. Any outstanding forms past the due date will cause you to forfeit your placement. New forms are required each semester.

Attestations must be filled completely and returned by the appropriate school official. Attestations returned by the student, or if incomplete, will not be accepted. The attestation is a form validating the following items. If your school does not require any of the items, it is the student’s responsibility to provide the information to your school official.
