Medical and APP Students


Graduate Students (Med, PA, or NP) wishing to participate in a clinical rotation in the Saint Alphonsus Health System (SAHS) must be an Idaho or Oregon resident.

Starting the Process

  • Education Affiliation Agreement (EAA): Must be in place between Saint Alphonsus and your graduate institution prior to submitting a rotation packet.
    • To verify your graduate institution, please contact: Keely Cheney, SAHS Education and Affiliation Agreement Coordinator
  • Preceptor: Prior to submitting a rotation request, identify and make arrangements with a preceptor for your rotation. SAHS does not identify or make preceptor arrangements for student rotations.

New Onboarding Process for Clinical Placement at Saint Alphonsus

We are excited to announce that Saint Alphonsus is adopting myClinicalExchange, a web-based automated tool designed to enhance our student clinical placement program. This platform will help mitigate risks, streamline processes, optimize costs, and improve productivity, accuracy, and quality.

Implementation Timeline

Saint Alphonsus will begin accepting requests through myClinicalExchange starting June 23, 2025.

If you have any questions, please contact myClinicalExchange at mcesupport@healthstream.com or via phone at 1-800-521-0574

Thank you for your cooperation as we transition to this improved system. We look forward to a successful partnership!
