Clinical Training Agreements (Word)

  • Clinical Training Agreement (CTA) – U Students Placed at Non-U Facilities
    Used for University of Utah students completing training at external facilities.

  • Clinical Training Agreement (CTA) – Students Placed at U Facilities
    Used for external students completing training at the University of Utah facilities.

  • Governmental Entity Addendum (GEA)
    Used alongside an external site’s agreement, only if the site requires use of its own form instead of the University’s. 

    • The University of Utah is a governmental entity of the State of Utah and a public institution of higher education, and is subject to a number of laws and policies specifically applicable to these types of entities, including Utah's government records act, Utah’s governmental immunity act, and Utah’s student data protection law. Also, as a state entity, the University is insured through the State of Utah's Risk Management Office and is represented by the Attorney General's Office in certain matters. This addendum addresses these and other related issues.
