NIMAA's Current Externship Clinics
Our Spring Cohort externship clinic partners list is in progress. Please check back in September
NIMAA is an online program that also requires students to complete 240 hours of clinical experience at one of the many externship organizations that work with us. We are excited to work with the following healthcare organizations to support the externship experience. To learn more about the program structure, please click here.
Students applying for the program must be located near one of our approved externship partners listed below.
Spring 2027 Cohort Clinic Partners:
- In addition to the NIMAA Enrollment Requirements, some externship clinic partners have additional requirements as you will see listed below each clinic in red. Read each one carefully and if you have questions, please email admissions@nimaa.edu.
- As you will see, some externship clinics have multiple sites that are hosting students. Please note that we cannot guarantee a specific clinic, but we try our best to keep things like commute in mind when assigning incoming students to clinics. For example, if you would like to do your externship hours through Salud Family Health, then it is possible you could be placed at any of their sites.
Please select your state to view the list of externship clinic located there.
Please note this list is subject to change & clinics may be removed from our application after reaching their maximum number of applicants
