What “online” means on this page

ACEND lists the coursework for every result here as fully online. Supervised practice is a separate requirement and normally happens in person. A program may place you near its campus, let you complete rotations where you live, or require you to identify sites and preceptors. Each result states the arrangement published in the official record.
