Clinical Rotations

We, at Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts, consider clinical experience one of the most important parts of the medical education. Students are required to be rotated throughout our affiliated medical facilities while attending the school. The number of clinical hours varies with each program. The internship program is designed to provide students with the thorough experience of the healthcare profession in the field. Please inquire about program specific clinical rotations by contacting our admissions office.

Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts is affiliated with many medical and clinical facilities. The facilities list was revised and updated on 10/21/2010. Please see additional information on clinical rotations at bottom of page The list of the updated affiliated facilities is maintained in the program specific master plan for review by students and faculty.

* Please note that students are assigned to the specific facility for the particular clinical rotation. Every attempt is made to place a student as close to home as possible, however clinical rotations are often limited by the number of students living within a specific geographic region and by the number of clinical sites available in that area. In addition, students may be required to rotate between clinical sites during the course of their clinical education to ensure all students receive equitable high quality clinical education during their training. Due to the nature of traffic in Northern California, students may be required to travel several hours to clinical sites. All students must be prepared and willing to commit themselves to any travel time required to achieve the educational goals of the program. Rotation requirements will be presented to the student by their respective Clinical Coordinator and/ or Program Director.
