ShadowClinicalsCareers
Fieldwork and clinical rotations for PT, PTA, OT, OTA, and SLP students — real patients, a clinical instructor who's invested in you, and a team that wants to hire you when you graduate.
The rotation that shows you the whole story
In long-term care, you don't shadow recovery — you're part of it, from evaluation to discharge.
More than observation hours
Dedicated Mentorship
A clinical instructor who owns your growth — structured feedback, graded autonomy, and honest conversations about where you're headed.
The Full Continuum
Exposure across care settings most rotations never touch — so you graduate knowing where you actually want to practice.
A Pathway To Hire
Strong rotations become offers. Seven students from recent rotations joined us as Partners — three full-time and four PRN.
What students said afterward
Every student who finishes a rotation gets surveyed. Here's what the last group told us.
SLP Student
"My supervisor provided me with mentorship that has truly prepared me for my career. She had many valuable resources I could take home to study, excellent person-centered care, and provided a positive atmosphere for me to grow in my clinical skills."
PTA Student
"Being able to meet and get to know everyone — they were sweet and nice and didn't treat me like an outsider. I was a part of the family they have from day one."
PTA Student
"Fantastic place, would absolutely recommend it to other students. Thank you guys for being so great!"
PTA Student
"The most valuable part was having such a collaborative and strong communication team that gave me amazing guidance and advice."
From classroom to caseload
Rotations are arranged between your school and us, so your program is where it starts.
Talk to Your Program
Ask your Fieldwork Coordinator or Director of Clinical Education about a rotation with Continuum. They request it on your behalf.
Get Matched
Once your school's request comes in, we pair you with a site and a clinical instructor who fits your goals — setting, caseload, and learning style.
Grow
Rotate with real responsibility and real feedback — and if it's a fit, talk with us about the path from student to Partner.

Requesting a placement
For fieldwork coordinators and clinical education teams.
- Request it in Exxat One. All of our student placements are posted and requested through Exxat One, the clinical education platform your team already uses.
- We confirm the agreement. We make sure an affiliation agreement is in place before the rotation starts.
- We match your student. We place them at a site with a clinical instructor suited to their goals.
