ALL STUDENTS AND UNDERGRADUATE INSTRUCTORS

All clinical placement requests must be submitted through the Alliance for Clinical Experience Matching and Placement Program (ACEMAPP). ACEMAPP is a secure, online clinical education platform. You will be completing a profile and a few forms and requirements which are necessary for submitting clinical requests. Learn more or get started at acemapp.org.

If you are a school coordinator who is not yet a member of ACEMAPP, you must contact ACEMAPP through the contact form at acemapp.org/contact, by email at support@acemapp.org, or by phone at 1-844-223-4292 to have an account created.

If you have more than one preceptor for a graduate student, please have your school submit a seprate request for the additional preceptor.

ACEMAPP provides multiple different resources for users. These include quick guides, user manuals, knowledge base articles with screenshots and step-by-step instructions, online webinar demonstrations, a video library, and the ACEMAPP Customer Support team.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

All placement requests must be coordinated through the Clinical Placement Office with the Clinical Lead, Jole' Mowry and ACEMAPP to ensure a consistent process. Students and instructors are asked not to approach staff directly to inquire about cohort group placements. This will ensure fair outcomes in a highly competitive process and provide increased satisfaction for all.

GRADUATE STUDENTS

Graduate nursing student placements are determined by the individual practitioners and requests should be directed to the APRN or physician that the student is interested in working with. The Clinical Placement office does not assist in this aspect. Further, we are unable to accommodate any shadow or observational experience requests for graduate students. If the student is an employee at University of Michigan Health, students may indicate this in their ACEMAPP profile. This will exempt them from having to complete Institutional Requirements, Background Check, and Drug Screenings in ACEMAPP.

STEP 1: IDENTIFY AND OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM PRECEPTOR. REQUEST MUST BE TWO WEEKS BEFORE ACEMAPP SUBMISSION DEADLINE. (See Calendar Page)

STEP 2: NOTIFY YOUR SCHOOL OF YOUR PRECEPTOR ARRANGEMENT.

• Clinical hours are arranged directly with the preceptor.
• This process will adhere to the ACEMAPP deadlines (See Calendar Page). ACEMAPP requests sent by your school beyond the final ACEMAPP deadline will be denied.

IRS REGISTRARS

1. All student and undergrad instructor names must be “uploaded” into our Secure Portal System called the Identity Registration System (IRS) to get access to our Health System. This access is processed by Health Information Technology & Services (HITS) through our Secure Portal System. Starting the Fall 2023 term (August), each school of nursing that participates in clinical placements with Michigan Medicine must have a registrar or designee identified who can upload student information into our Secure Portal System. Please contact April Stingo at astingo@med.umich.edu to begin the process of obtaining access to our Secure Portal System..
2. If you are a Secure Portal System registrar, an email will be sent from April Stingo. The email will give you the Secure Portal System due dates for uploading your students and instructors prior to their clinical rotation on the unit.
3. Student and undergrad instructor information must be submitted at least 3 weeks prior to the start of the term. This will ensure adequate time for our Health Information Technology & Services (HITS) to process computer logins and enable students to complete documentation training prior to the start of their clinical session.
4. All undergrad and graduate students who are UM or Michigan Medicine Employees will be able to provide you with their uniqname and UMID so that you will NOT be required to use their SSN
5. A minimum of 5-7 business days is required for processing of logins and Health System access for students and instructors by Health Information Technology & Services (HITS) and other departments throughout the Health System (i.e., Key ID Office, Parking, MiChart Security). Please be aware that when students or instructors are uploaded late, there will be delays or errors in the access they receive.
6. If a student or instructor withdraws from their practicum for any reason, they must be deleted from the Secure Portal System immediately in accordance with our Michigan Medicine Compliance Policy. Please contact April Stingo with the student or instructor's name.

Each clinical nursing student and instructor must complete a group of institutional requirements prior to the start of their clinical practicum. Required learning activities include training to the electronic health record (MiChart) in Cornerstone Learning and institutional requirements in ACEMAPP.

MICHART TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

• All required MiChart training will be found in Cornerstone Learning on the student's Learning Plan
• All clinical instructors in the inpatient setting must complete the unit RN MiChart training requirements. This will include eLearning modules in Cornerstone Learning. This learning will be automatically pushed to them when they are processed through the Secure Portal. This is a one-time training requirement unless the instructor has been away from Michigan Medicine for multiple years.
• Student MiChart training will vary by student type and location and will automatically be pushed out to their Learning Plan in Cornerstone Learning.
• To access Cornerstone Learning, go to https://michmed.csod.com/samldefault.aspx and login with your username and LEVEL 2 password or LEVEL 1 password. Click below for help with moving around Cornerstone and completing learning. Cornerstone Learning Resources & Support
