For students
The part after “I found someone”
Most placements do not fail at the introduction. They fail in the six weeks of paperwork, approvals, and onboarding afterwards. That is the part we run.
- School approval is a required stage
- Payment released in stages
- Refund terms published in advance
After a match is confirmed
1.Match confirmed

Next action: Student and preceptor
2.Paperwork underway
In progress
Next action: Student, preceptor, and site
3.School review
Not started
Next action: Your program
4.Ready to begin
Not started
Next action: Clinical site
Matching is the first stage, not the whole process. Every stage shows what is outstanding and who owns the next action.
What you get
Four things, each of which exists because of a way placements go wrong.
Matching that respects your program
Your school's placement rules are applied to your request from the start, so you are not matched against something your program will later reject.
Why it matters
Rules are versioned. Your request is judged against the version in force when you submitted it, so a mid-cycle change does not invalidate it.
Payment in stages, not up front
You pay part at mutual acceptance, part when paperwork is complete, and part at school approval. Each stage corresponds to real progress.
Why it matters
The only thing payable earlier is the optional priority coordination deposit, and it is credited against your first payment.
One list of what is outstanding
Every paperwork and onboarding item shows who owns it, when it is due, and whether it blocks your start.
Why it matters
A delay has a name and an owner rather than being an unexplained wait for someone to get back to you.
Published exception terms
What happens when a placement falls through is written down before it happens, including which situations are fully refundable.
Why it matters
A preceptor withdrawal, a school denial, an expired offer, or a cancellation by us are fully refundable.
What we will not tell you
No guarantees, and no numbers we cannot stand behind
What we do not guarantee
- That a placement will be found. A preceptor has to agree to take you, and your school has to approve the site.
- A placement rate or a time-to-placement figure. Any number we published today would be a marketing claim rather than a measurement.
What we will tell you
- Exactly what stage your placement is at
- What is blocking it
- Who owns the next action
Student questions
What does it cost?
Placement fees are calculated from your rotation's required hours at a published hourly rate, with a published minimum. The full formula and worked examples are on the pricing page.
What if my school does not allow paid placement services?
Then do not use one. Some programs prohibit them outright and others require disclosure. School approval is a required stage in our process, so a placement cannot quietly proceed without your program signing off — but you should check your student handbook before you spend anything.
Do I get my money back if it falls through?
It depends on why and when, and the rules are published rather than decided case by case. A preceptor withdrawal, a school denial, an expired offer, or a cancellation by us are fully refundable. If you cancel before the rotation starts, part is refunded and part is held as credit. After a rotation has begun, your own cancellation is not refundable.
Will you have access to my patients' information?
No. We do not collect patient names, medical record numbers, or encounter notes at any point. Clinical hours are recorded as an approved total, not as a log of individual patients.
