For schools and programs
Your rules, applied before the request reaches you
Reviewing incomplete placement requests is the expensive part. Encode your requirements once and review packets that already meet them.
Versioned placement rules
Programs change requirements between cohorts, and a change should not invalidate placements already in flight. Your rules are stored as versions with an effective date: a student’s rotation request is bound to the version current when they submitted it, and that binding is recorded on the request itself.
Rules cover accepted credential types, permitted specialties and site types, required patient populations and settings, the agreements a site must hold, and the documents a student must produce. Matching applies them before a student sees a candidate.
You keep approval authority
A placement moves through matching, mutual acceptance, and paperwork, and then it stops at your review. Approve it, request revisions, or deny it. A denial records a reason code and opens a case; it never silently closes, and the student is refunded under our published exception policy rather than being left to argue about it.
School questions
Does this bypass our placement process?
The opposite. School approval is a required stage that a placement cannot proceed past. Your reviewers approve, request revisions, or deny, with a reason code recorded either way. If your program does not permit outside placement services, no placement for your students can complete without you declining it.
How do our requirements get applied?
You publish placement rules — accepted credentials, specialties, site types, patient populations, required agreements, and required documents — as a versioned rule set. A student's request is matched against the version in force when they submitted it, so a mid-cycle rule change does not retroactively invalidate placements already under way.
What do reviewers actually see?
A complete packet: the preceptor's verified credentials, the site and its agreements, the rotation's dates and hours, and the paperwork already signed. Reviewers see what they need to make a decision and nothing about payment arrangements.
Is there a cost to the school?
No. Schools are not charged for reviewing or approving placements.
