Allied Health Students

School site coordinators should first confirm with Workforce Development (workforcedevelopment@wakemed.org) that a student affiliation agreement is in place. The school site must contact WakeMed departments to determine the availability of the departments to host students. Once student schedules have been agreed upon by both the school site coordinators and WakeMed departments, please reach out to workforcedevelopment@wakemed.org to acquire information about Rotation Manager and onboarding requirements. It is the responsibility of the school site coordinators to provide a schedule to workforcedevelopment@wakemed.org as to when and where students will be on WakeMed campuses.

*Please note that we do not manage the availability of employees for purposes of educational experiences (internships/observations/job shadowing). The identification of a qualified preceptor is the responsibility of the student and the school because each school/program has a different set of requirements for the educational experience.

Undergraduate Nursing and Emergency Medical Services

The healthcare systems for WakeMed, UNC Hospitals, Duke University Hospitals, and our academic partners have adopted the use of Rotation Manager for clinical placements. The use of Rotation Manager creates standard work and efficient flow. It improves accuracy and communication, and eliminates the waste of resources associated with a cumbersome process and fixing errors.

A school that had a placement on a particular unit, day of the week, and time of day during the same semester one year ago will receive priority for placement, so you may want to check previous placements at wakemedrotations.com prior to making your requests. See How to Check Rotation Manager for more details. Refer to the Tip Sheet for help in making requests.

Equal consideration and priority placement will be given to schools that adhere to the Clinical Request Time Lines. Later requests will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis within capacity constraints.

If you would like more information about Rotation Manager and how we use it at WakeMed, please contact NSPlacement@wakemed.org

At WakeMed Health and Hospitals, we support observational experiences for individuals interested in various opportunities including exposure to health careers and other non-clinical opportunities. Observations must be a requirement for graduation from an accredited school or be physician supervised. Please read the policy carefully to understand the shadowing procedure, participant's responsibilities, the mentor's responsibilities and general guidelines for a job shadow experience.
