Lenoir Community College currently has clinical education agreements in North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Vermont. All clinical agreements are subject to change. All students can complete clinical rotations in NC or in one of the states listed provided that the student maintains a certification with authorization to function in that state.
Our program maintains numerous clinical partners across our agreement areas. Unfortunately, due to the fluid nature of the healthcare industry, we are unable to provide a complete listing of available clinical sites prior to the time students are placed for clinical rotations. The clinical education team works diligently with each student to secure placement as close to their home area as possible.
