Fall 2026 Cohort Clinic Partners: 
  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.
