From classroom to career. From purpose to practice.
For Schools
Gain experience across the continuum of senior care.
At Functional Pathways, students gain hands-on rehabilitation experience in real care settings with mentorship that supports confidence, skill-building, and career growth.
With a nationwide-network of rehabilitation partners, students can explore diverse care environments while building practical experience across PT, OT, and SLP disciplines.
What Our Students Are Saying
Designed to support successful student placements.
Schools submit a clinical placement request through our online request form, providing details such as the student's discipline, preferred location, and requested rotation dates.
Our Student & University Relations team works with the requested facility to determine whether the placement can be accommodated based on staffing, clinical supervision, and operational needs.
Once the placement is approved, Functional Pathways confirms the rotation with the school, finalizes the clinical details, and gathers the student's information to prepare for onboarding.
Approximately 4–6 weeks prior to the rotation start date, the student begins the onboarding process, including completion of required documentation, screenings, and any state-specific compliance requirements.
After all onboarding requirements have been successfully completed and verified, Functional Pathways issues final clearance. Students may begin their clinical rotation only after receiving this official clearance.
