Our Guidance:

During the COVID-19 impact, Alliant has been

joining efforts with partnerships to appropriately plan

for providing alternative approaches for meeting

clinical practice, field experience, and performance

assessment requirements. We are working daily

with our agencies to determine the best plans of

action and working to implement those plans as

efficiently as possible.
