2: Verify Email Address

Once your school has created your account, you will receive an email to verify the email address associated with your ACEMAPP account. You must verify your email before logging in. You can click the "Resend Verification" button in the acemapp.org login section.

3: Log in to your ACEMAPP account

After email verification, you will receive a welcome email from ACEMAPP, which provides a link to set your password. If you cannot locate your Welcome Email, go directly to ACEMAPP.org, click Login, enter your email address, and select the "Forgot Password" option to set a password. After logging in, you must agree to the FERPA consent, the Honesty Pledge, and the Terms and Conditions.

4. Complete requirements

Complete all requirements for your school and/or clinical site(s). You must upload specific requirements into ACEMAPP even if you have already submitted them to your school. Contact ESS (1-866-859-0143) to obtain access to your background/drug screen results. Contact UAB Student Health or the UAB Student Health Portal to get access to your required immunizations. The professional Liability form is in NUR 004, or you may contact your faculty advisor. Uploaded requirements will show as 'pending' until closer to the rotation start date. At that time, they will be approved by your school.

5. Submit rotation application

To request a placement for your school, locate the appropriate application. If you are going to Piedmont, Grady, Phoebe, or a Floyd facility, there is a specific application for you. If you are requesting placement at a different facility, please complete the other application to request placement. While completing your rotation application, you can select your clinical site and preceptor of preference. If they are not listed, there is a placeholder for you:

  • Preceptor: 'Preceptor Not Listed - Provide Details Below.'
  • Clinical Site: 'New Entity (enter Details Below).'

Once your application is approved, you are NOT cleared to attend your rotation, but you will be assigned to a rotation. Your school will review the rotation request and move it to approved.

6. Complete case logs

Clinical encounters should be completed daily. You must indicate a preceptor on your case logs for your hours to be accurate. You will submit case logs specific to your precepted rotation id number. If you cannot complete your case and/or time logs, please reach out to your school so they may assign you to a rotation. Your faculty will approve your case log.

7. Complete time logs

Submit your time logs using the preceptor, encounter date, and precepted rotation ID number. These fields need to match what you entered for case logs. If your preceptor is not listed or you do not indicate which case logs to attach, your total hours will not be correct. Ensure all correlating case logs are listed before submitting your time log. Your faculty and preceptor will approve your time logs.

8. Complete evaluations

You will be asked to complete multiple evaluations at the end of your experience. Evaluations include:

  • Graduate Clinical Student Evaluation of Agency (UAB) - Will be available to complete 21 days before the rotation end date

  • Graduate Clinical Student Evaluation of Preceptor (UAB) - Will be available to complete 21 days before the rotation end date Next, you are required to provide feedback after your instructor evaluates you:

  • UAB - End of Term Instructor Eval of Student - Will be available no earlier than 30 days before the rotation end date
