NIMAA's Current Externship Clinics

NIMAA's Current Externship Clinics

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. Externship site availability may vary by cohort and is subject to change. To learn more about the program structure, please click here. 
Info
Students applying for the program must be located near one of our approved externship partners listed below. 


Fall 2026 Cohort Clinic Partners:
Externship partners for the Fall 2026 cohort are currently being finalized. The list below reflects confirmed clinical sites at this time and will be updated on a rolling basis as additional partners are signed on.
  1. 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. 
  2. 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.
