New Agreements
Before completing the affiliation request form, please note the following:
New Agreements (i.e., no current agreement for a health professions program exists between Cleveland Clinic and the academic institution)
Multiple factors are considered when approving requests for affiliation agreements. These factors include, but are not limited to:
- Location of the school in relation to the Cleveland Clinic facilities
- Current and anticipated workforce needs of the Cleveland Clinic
- Volume of anticipated placement requests in the discipline(s) requested.
If the agreement request is for a single student, we require:
- $500 fee paid by the academic institution or by the Cleveland Clinic institute/department requesting the student placement.
The term of new affiliation agreements for a single student are defined by the length of the student’s clinical rotation (i.e., start and end dates). The term of new affiliation agreements for multiple students are determined on a case-by-case basis.

Renewal Agreements (i.e., a current health professions affiliation agreement exists between Cleveland Clinic and the academic institution)

- Current and anticipated workforce needs of Cleveland Clinic.
The term of renewed agreements (e.g., one, three or five years) may vary depending on the above.

MOUs
