Application Process - To start a NEW application in Meditrek:

  1. Go to https://edu.meditrek.com/waldenu/ and sign in.
  2. On your home screen, click on the box at the top that says “Practicum or Internship Application”.
  3. Then Start a new application by clicking on one of the three options (Primary, Replacement, Repeat).  In almost all cases, a new application will begin by selecting “Primary.”

Primary:  Select for the primary supervisor at your site, this is the main option to get started on the application process.  

Replacement: Select when an existing application simply needs to be replaced because of a change in some details.   It’s a correction.

Repeat:  Select if a student is repeating the class.   This is not a correction, it’s an application re-submission when the student has to take the class over because of a “U” or “W” or “I” grade.

  1. Then Select the “Course” you will need to be enrolled in, i.e. PSYC 8281C Practicum I.
  2. Then Select the “Starting quarter,” i.e. Spring 2021.
  3. Then click on the button to the right called “Start New.”
  4. Please view the checklist of items due for your application and start filling out the forms and submitting the required documents.

(If you are using more than one site, you will complete this step-by-step process for each site, so you will have two separate "primary" applications in Meditrek.)

Application Process - To COPY an application in Meditrek:

You must apply in Meditrek on a quarterly basis but the copy feature allows this to be a much shorter process. 

Notes:

  • If you are continuing at the same site for your practicum or internship, there will be a copy feature option, see process below.
  • Only applications in "On Hold" or "Approved" status are eligible to copy over.
  • The copy feature only works when you are applying for practicum to practicum or internship to internship but not practicum to internship.

 

Step by step process:

  1. Log-in to Meditrek.
  2. Start New Application.
  3. Select Type of Application.
    1. Primary:  Select for the primary supervisor at your site, this is the main option to get started on the application process.  
    2. Replacement: Select when an existing application simply needs to be replaced because of a change in some details.   It’s a correction.
    3. Repeat:  Select if a student is repeating the class.   This is not a correction, it’s application re-submission when the student has to take the class over because of a “U” or “W” or “I” grade.
  4. Select Course.
  5. Select Starting Quarter.
  6. If you have a previously approved application that is eligible for being copied for your new application, you will see the following question at the top of their new application appear, “Is this application for the same site supervisor and field site as one of your previous applications?"
    1. If you choose yes, you are then presented with a drop-down selection that allows you to copy information from that previous application.
    2. Select the correct application/supervisor.
    3. Then select “Copy”.
  7. If you do copy over an application, as much information as possible is automatically copied from your old application to your new application.  Please review the checklist as you may need to re-upload your student liability insurance certificate and/or supervisor(s) license again.
