Clinical Education

Ochsner LSU Health Clinical Education provides hands-on opportunities for research and application of clinical skills for more than 1,200 students annually, facilitating growth of a comprehensive and inclusive healthcare workforce that keeps patients first. By collaborating with leading accredited education providers and LSBN approved nursing programs, we are pleased to offer a wide variety of placements throughout North Louisiana for students in PN, RN, Graduate Nursing, Physician Assistant, and more than 40 different Allied Health programs of study.

All clinical education experiences must begin with a request submitted in InPlace Network by a representative of an accredited educational institution with an active affiliation agreement.

Students will not have access to InPlace Network. Once a placement determination is made, the requesting school representative will be notified via email. Compliance must then be uploaded and/or confirmed as current for those attending clinical education experiences. All placements must be cleared for approval to attend rotation prior to reporting to the clinical site.

Complete Compliance is mandatory in order to begin attendance of clinical education experiences. Required compliance training via Workday Learn will be assigned to all students after placement has been secured by the Clinical Education team. In order to prevent delays in clearance and obtaining Epic access for certain programs, rotation requests must be submitted with all student information within InPlace Network in a timely fashion. No paper agreement forms will be collected.

Instructions for logging in to Workday Learn will be sent via email. Students and instructors will complete the required compliance training, download the certificate of completion, and submit this proof to their school representative. School representatives will attest to completion of compliance training and health and safety items in InPlace Network before a student can be cleared for rotation.​ A list of required Health and Safety items are outlined in the Health and Safety Compliance Guide.

Ochsner LSU Health Clinical Education is proud to offer use of InPlace Network free of charge to education providers. All clinical education experiences and rotation requests must be first submitted through this platform. Students are not granted access to InPlace Network.

While Ochsner LSU Health operates and manages myriad clinics and facilities as Ochsner Clinic Foundation Ochsner LSU Health System of North Louisiana, not all sites are encompassed by one universal academic affiliation agreement. Although an affiliation agreement may be active, placements are limited and subject to fluctuating capacity. Please ensure requests are entered prior to the posted request deadlines. Allow at least 4 months for processing any new agreements. An active agreement must be in effect for a rotation to proceed.

Some sites require additional and/or separate agreements:​

  • Ochsner Health
  • St. Bernard Parish Hospital​
  • St. Charles Parish Hospital​
  • Slidell Memorial Hospitals​
  • Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center​

If you are unsure whether a site is covered under your academic affiliation agreement, or if you are an accredited education provider seeking new or continued affiliation, please reach out to OLHS.students@ochsnerlsuhs.org prior to submitting an InPlace Network request or registering a new user account.
