Student Information:

Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) are a great location to earn clinical training hours. There are many different types of ASCs that you can earn your hours in. Centers can be single-specialty (where they focus on one type of specialty, for example, an Endoscopy Center) or multi-specialty (where they focus on several specialties, for example, pain, orthopedics and urology). 

Below you can find a list of centers that are actively participating in programs to provide clinical training opportunities. please contact the center directly to make arrangements for your program needs. 

 

ASC Information: 

Participating as a clinical training site is an extremely rewarding opportunity for an ASC. You are helping future healthcare workers gain the experience and knowledge they need to provide high quality care to patients in Texas. Resources are available to help you if you are interested in becoming a clinical training site. 

If you would like to sign up to be listed on this page as an ASC that offers clinical training, or if you have questions about getting started as a clinical training site, please complete this form for next steps.
