Practicum Administration Software is an application developed and supported by MedHarbor.Com, Inc.  A company based in Missouri with a long history of application development of software products.

Practicum was originally developed for the Anesthesia program at Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville to help the nursing school's anesthesia department schedule students and communicate with faculty and institutions, i.e. hospitals to maintain good records for practicum interns.

The program is now being used in other departments as the need for automation and innovation becomes more pervasive in Higher Education.  The need for privacy in student records (FERPA) has given Higher Education Institutions a better understanding of the role of technology and its uses to streamline and enhance the secure learning experience in these institutions.

With automation comes a huge benefit in time management.  Typically users tell us they go from weeks of planning and preparation for placing practicum students to just a few hours.  This allows users to spend time for curriculum development, contract negotiation, public relations, faculty awareness and archiving for audits and accreditation purposes.
