If you are currently graduate level or higher in an accredited, not-for-profit program in the United States and are interested in an experience at a Children's Minnesota location, please review the options available at this time.

 

Disclaimers:  

  1. Children's Minnesota GME office has chosen to collaborate exclusively with not-for-profit programs that have an in-person component to their training and are physically located in the United States. Rotational opportunities will not be available to students from for-profit, international, and/or fully online-only programs.
  2. Trainees who have been approved for a rotation opportunity at Children’s Minnesota must comply with onboarding deadlines. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of experience, and any future requests will not be considered.
  3. If a rotation is no longer needed, the Medical Education Department must be notified immediately.
  4. Employed Children’s staff seeking a clinical rotation as part of a training program are strongly advised to rotate outside of the department they normally work in. Hours worked during an employee shift do not count toward clinical hours for credit.

Prior to the start of an approved rotation with Children's Minnesota, the following must be completed and/or on file with Children's Minnesota: 

  1. Current affiliation agreement between Children's Minnesota and the training program. Children's Minnesota will initiate the agreement once the rotational experience has been approved. This work is required to begin at least 2 months prior to an agreed upon start date. No onboarding is allowed to begin until the affiliation agreement is fully executed. If legal terms cannot be agreed upon, the rotation will be canceled. 
  2. The Trainee’s Institution is required to be currently insured for professional liability, which covers students AND faculty.  Liability limits are a minimum of $2,000,000/$4,000,000.  The School will provide Children’s with a certificate of insurance evidencing said coverage or a letter describing its professional liability protection if self-insured. 
  3. Prior to the start of a clinical, hands-on rotation, the trainee must provide proof of Minnesota DHS Background Study conducted by their current training program. Additionally, if applicable, the trainee must obtain and provide a Minnesota Board of Medical Practice Residency Permit for the duration of the experience at Children’s Minnesota. Failure to provide either or both items by the requested date will result in cancellation of experience.
