Clinical site development in Southern California comes down to one question: where will your students train? The MiraVision Group works from Cerritos with colleges, career institutions, and healthcare organizations that need more clinical sites, stronger partnerships, or room to grow a program. We handle the outreach and relationship work, so your faculty can stay focused on teaching.
What Does Clinical Site Development Include?
It includes finding new training sites, securing them, and supporting the agreements that let students start their rotations. It also covers growing the number of placements a program can offer. For most programs, the first site isn't the hard part. The hard part is building a network deep enough that losing one partner doesn't leave students without a placement.
How the Work Breaks Down
Clinical Site Identification and Procurement
This is the clinical site acquisition side of the work. We look for healthcare providers that fit your program and approach them about hosting students. Once a site shows interest, we help carry the partnership from first contact to a working arrangement.
Affiliation Agreement Support
Before students arrive, the school and the site need a clinical affiliation agreement in place. We support that process and keep it moving, so a willing site doesn't stall at the paperwork stage.
Clinical Capacity Expansion
A program with partners already in place may still be short on spots. We work to add placements with your current sites and bring new ones in, so enrollment isn't capped by a lack of rotations.
Outreach and Program Growth
Healthcare outreach, community relations, and growth planning round out the service. We also help align your program with workforce planning, so the sites your students train in reflect where graduates are likely to find jobs.
Programs We Support
Our clinical partnership experience covers ten allied health and healthcare programs. In diagnostic imaging, that means Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Diagnostic Medical Sonography. In rehabilitation sciences, it includes Occupational Therapy, Occupational Therapy Assistant, and Physical Therapist Assistant programs.
On the allied health side, we've supported Surgical Technology, Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Dental Assistant, and Health Information Technology programs. If your program trains for one of these fields, we already know the kinds of sites it needs.
Why Schools Partner With The MiraVision Group
Our founder, Gerry G. Garcia, has spent his career on clinical site development, student placement, and employer engagement. Those three pieces are connected. A hospital that hosts students is also an employer deciding who to hire next, and we understand both sides of that relationship.
Across our work, we've supported 10+ allied health and healthcare programs and developed hundreds of employer, healthcare, education, and community partnerships. Many schools also pair clinical sites with workforce development consulting, and graduates can move into jobs through our direct-hire recruitment services.
