Three Ways to Secure a Placement at Ivy

We believe great placements should be accessible, transparent, and efficient. That’s why we offer three placement systems designed to meet programs where they are.

1. Exxat One

Ivy utilizes Exxat One as our primary platform for managing placement availability and requests.

View real-time clinic availability
Submit requests in one centralized system
Requests are routed directly to the appropriate Regional Site Coordinator of Clinical Education (RSCCE)
Faster confirmations and clearer communication

Placement Release Schedule

2027 placements released March 1, 2026
2026 placements released March 1, 2025

2. Ivy Smartsheet Request Form

For programs unable to submit through Exxat One, Ivy offers a streamlined Smartsheet request form.

The form captures:

Rotation dates and level
Specialty interests
Preferred clinic locations

Each request is personally reviewed by our Student Placements team to ensure thoughtful matching and clear follow-up.

Access the Smartsheet Form: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/78a352988a6542d7a091ba977ddf7c70

3. Email Requests

Email requests are ideal for:

Integrated Clinical Experience (ICE) rotations
Unique or non-traditional placements
Bulk or cohort requests

Our team will provide a customized spreadsheet to support efficient planning while maintaining individualized review.
