Documentation
Novant Health Student Programs will provide you and your school guidance on what documentation you are required to submit for your specific experience.
Clinical/non-clinical (hands-on) experiences
Work with your school’s advisor/contact to comply with Novant Health processes for rotation requests and clearance requirements through myClinicalExchange. Your school must submit requests for rotations through myClinical Exchange (mCE) at least 30 days before your start date.
Clearance confirmation
Once Student Programs verifies that all student and institution requirements are complete, you will receive an email notification that you have been cleared for your rotation. Your preceptor and school contact will be included on all clearance correspondence.
Do not report to a rotation without having received this documented clearance.
Training
As a part of your onboarding process, you may be required to complete training applicable to your specific educational experience. You will receive information about your specific training requirements after receiving clearance confirmation.
myClinicalExchange
Submit clinical and non-clinical educational rotations via the myClinicalExchange platform. If your corporate ID is not entered into your myClinicalExchange account, this is because the ID process is still in process and is incomplete. If you do not use your ID for 90 days or more, it will be disactivated. Email Student Programs to learn how to reactivate your ID.
For questions about that portal, have your school coordinator contact Support@MyClinicalExchange.com.
