The Chamberlain practicum approval checklist
A Chamberlain practicum site has to clear several gates before your hours count. Here’s what’s on the list — and what we handle for you.
Before your hours can count
- A signed affiliation agreement between the clinical site and the school
- Your preceptor and site nominated and approved in Typhon
- CastleBranch cleared — background check, drug screen, and immunizations, inside the site’s window
- A preceptor whose license and certification match your course’s scope and population
Why first-submission approval matters
Each item has its own timeline, and a single missing immunization or an unsigned agreement can stall an otherwise-ready placement past your registration date. Getting the package right the first time is the whole game.
What we handle
We assemble the affiliation agreement, file the Typhon application, and track CastleBranch to the site’s deadline — then follow your hours and sign-offs to the full requirement.
