I think I would contact the school with that question. That said, I live in IL and some of my fellow grad students did rotations at St Jude Hospital in Memphis. The school had to okay it though.

Thanks for the reply.Is your program online? I was trying to avoid asking the school until I found out if I have been accepted.I worry that may sway them to not admit me into the program.

Every US Embassy and military base is considered US soil. I did some of my clinical in Okinawa at the US Naval hospital there.

Yes, If your school doesn't specify where you can do clinicals then you should be able to do them in any state that you have a license. I am in louisiana, my school is in Chicago, I did clinicals in Mississippi.
