Ochsner Health is a system that delivers health to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf South with a mission to Serve, Heal, Lead, Educate and Innovate.
Clinical Education
Ochsner Health Clinical Education provides hands-on opportunities for research and application of clinical skills for more than 5,000 students annually, facilitating growth of a comprehensive and inclusive healthcare workforce that keeps patients first. By collaborating with leading accredited education providers and LSBN approved nursing programs, we are pleased to offer a wide variety of placements throughout the Gulf Coast and Southeastern United States in for students in PN, RN, Graduate Nursing, Physician Assistant, and more than 40 different Allied Health programs of study.
All clinical education experiences must begin with a request submitted in InPlace Network by a representative of an accredited educational institution with an active affiliation agreement.
Students will not have access to InPlace Network. Once a placement determination is made, the requesting school representative will be notified via email. Compliance must then be uploaded and/or confirmed as current for those attending clinical education experiences. All placements must be cleared for approval to attend rotation prior to reporting to the clinical site.

While Ochsner Health operates and manages myriad clinics and facilities as Ochsner Clinic Foundation, not all sites are encompassed by one universal academic affiliation agreement. Although an affiliation agreement may be active, placements are limited and subject to fluctuating capacity. Please ensure requests are entered prior to the posted request deadlines. Allow at least 4 months for processing any new agreements. An active agreement must be in effect for a rotation to proceed.
Some sites require additional and/or separate agreements:
- Ochsner LSU Health of North Louisiana
- St. Bernard Parish Hospital
- St. Charles Parish Hospital
- Slidell Memorial Hospitals
- Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center
If you are unsure whether a site is covered under your academic affiliation agreement, or if you are an accredited education provider seeking new or continued affiliation, please reach out to ClinicalEducation@ochsner.org prior to submitting an InPlace Network request or registering a new user account.
