ARNP/PA Students

Student Placement/Projects Request Process

Applications for clinical placement/projects will only be considered from ARNP and PA students attending the University of Iowa College of Nursing and the University of Iowa College of Medicine, as demand for ARNP/PA student placements/projects exceeds resources and preceptor capacity. 

Special circumstances and exceptions: Clinical Placement will be considered for ARNP students enrolled in programs not offered by the UI College of Nursing, including neonatal nurse practitioner and women’s health nurse practitioner. This requires documentation from the department chair agreeing to support the clinical hours. Requests should go to ARNP student placement email.
