Academic Partners, Fieldwork Coordinators & Clinical Instructors

Welcome to partnering with St. Joseph’s Student Affairs to provide fieldwork and placement opportunities for your students.  Please reach out to Student Affairs so we can find a mutually agreeable time to meet with you (in-person or virtually) to introduce ourselves and review our mutual needs, processes and timelines. 

Clinical Instructors hired by academic sites are a critical resource in supporting student group placements at St. Joseph’s. This model is used dental hygiene placements, massage therapy placements, nursing group placements and patient support worker placement.

We have developed a Clinical Instructor Checklist to support your onboarding, review your accountabilities, and to support your offboarding.
