What if there are no clinical/field sites near me?
We currently maintain over 520 clinical/field sites across the state of Texas. Students that choose to enroll with us acknowledge that while travel expectations are very limited due to the online nature of the educational offerings available, students may need to travel varying distances depending upon their proximity to available Skills Lab and clinical/field site locations.
Students may work with clinical providers or have relationships with personnel in local emergency rooms or ambulance services that are not yet affiliated with the institution and wish to complete their field experiences at these locations. The institution is willing and interested in forming a relationship with any qualified clinical provider, and many organizations are traditionally willing to complete an affiliation agreement if they have local students who are requesting one. To initiate a new affiliation request, students may contact support@axoneducation.com to request that a site be considered.
