MEPN Students: Clinical Placements Transportation to Clinical Sites
Transportation to and from the clinical sites as well as the cost of the transportation (gasoline, bus pass, ferry fees) is the responsibility of the student. We have clinical sites in the greater Seattle Metropolitan area as well as adjacent counties. Clinical assignments are based on providing students with a variety of clinical experiences throughout the program; at times this necessitates travel time outside the Seattle area. Access to the clinical site from your local address or other needs cannot be taken into consideration when assignments are made.

Although most of the sites are accessible by public transportation, access to an automobile is desirable especially in the later portions of the program. Some clinical site placements require home visits to clients and community centers; two clinical sites are located in the Poulsbo and Port Gamble area which requires ferry travel as well as access to an automobile.

During orientation to the clinical site your instructor will discuss parking arrangements at the site if available; many of the metropolitan sites are easier accessible by bus. Often students within the same clinical section carpool if the site is not easy accessible by bus.
