Nursing Student Clinical Placement

AFFILIATION AGREEMENT

All non-University of Michigan nursing schools must have a valid Affiliation Agreement (Master Contract) and a corresponding All-In-One Program Addendum on file with University of Michigan Health (UMH) at Michigan Medicine before starting clincals.

IMPORTANT: Only UMH-approved agreement templates are accepted. Please do not submit your school’s master contract. Minor edits may be reviewed, but significant changes will not.

Only authorized contracting officials from both institutions may negotiate and execute these agreements. This typically does not include instructors or academic advisors—unless they also serve as your school’s contract facilitator.
