Sherman College offers two off-campus experiential learning opportunities for eligible fourteenth quarter students:

Practice Management Observation Elective (PMOE): An observational experience focused on practice operations, patient education, communication, marketing, and office systems. PMOE placements may be available throughout the United States and internationally. Students do not participate in clinical patient care.
Sherman Training Experience Program (STEP): A clinically focused experience involving supervised patient care and patient management as well as limited operational functions. STEP is available only through approved host sites in select geographic areas.

Application Requirements

Students must submit this application by the end of Week 2 of the quarter in which they are enrolled in Clinic IV. Approved students must register for the appropriate course during registration week.

Final approval requires:

Completion of all academic, clinical, and program requirements
Formal checkout from the Chiropractic Center
Approval of the student and host site
A meeting with the Office of Financial Aid

Students may participate only at host sites approved by Sherman College. The coordinating offices will confirm the placement and determine whether PMOE or STEP is appropriate.

Submitting an application does not guarantee approval, placement with a preferred host, or participation in a specific program.

International Placements

International opportunities are limited and evaluated individually. Students are responsible for all travel, housing, and transportation arrangements and must complete the college’s required travel and assumption-of-risk documentation.
