Clinical placement coordination and support for Physician Associate Studies students

Miami University’s Physician Associate Studies Department is seeking a provider to arrange and support clinical rotations for its students. - Buyer: Miami University, Physician Associate Studies Department; Office of Strategic Procurement. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs or placement provider are named. Miami University is the government buyer; the healthcare facility in the draft learning agreement is unnamed. - Requested service: Find and coordinate in-person clinical placements, match students with suitable sites and preceptors, and support scheduling, onboarding, documentation, affiliation agreements, site visits, issue resolution, and accreditation needs. Each rotation must provide at least 120 verified educational hours per student, with supervision, learning objectives, activities, and feedback. - Priority specialties: Pediatrics and Women’s Health/Obstetrics and Gynecology; other needs include Emergency Medicine and General Surgery. Rotation disciplines listed in the preceptor form also include Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Behavioral Health, Orthopedics/Sports Medicine, and Other. No fixed placement quantities are specified. - Placement requirements: Verify preceptor licenses and credentials, obtain required preceptor documents, and support student evaluations and accreditation. Sites are preferred within 120 miles of Oxford; out-of-state placements may be considered based on location and student housing availability. Requests should ideally be initiated three to six months or more ahead after required site verification, agreement, and visit steps are complete. - Notable conditions: In-person site visits are preferred, with virtual visits acceptable. Miami does not allow vendor outreach to clinical sites using Miami email accounts and will not accept alternative clinical experiences for OB/GYN or Women’s Health when a site will not accept male students. The RFP requests transparent, itemized pricing, cancellation terms, references, sustainability information, and a proposed rebate; the draft facility agreement separately states that the parties exchange no money. - Products and part numbers: No products, part numbers, or product quantities are specified.

The RFP states a desired contract period from December 1, 2026, through December 1, 2028.
