About Us · Membership

Education and healthcare, at one table

Since its founding, IEHEC has facilitated quality nursing education across San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. We don't manage clinical placements — we strengthen the relationships behind them. Five times a year, deans, directors, educators, and hospital leaders sit down together and get straight answers.

🎓

Schools hear it first

Placement windows, vaccination policies, medication rules, and new-grad program timelines — direct from every major facility, before they affect your students.

🏥

Facilities say it once

Communicate expectations — onboarding, social media policy, EMR access — to every nursing program in the region in a single forum.

🏆

Everyone celebrates

Annual cash awards for outstanding nurse mentors and students, guest-speaker education sessions, and a network that answers the phone.

FAQ

Does IEHEC manage clinical placements?

No. We strengthen the relationships behind placements — shared best practices, written guidelines, and direct school-to-facility communication at every meeting.

Request a dues invoice

Accounts-payable offices can generate a printable invoice here, or download a blank form (PDF) for the current membership year and complete it by hand. Submitting the form below also opens an email to the treasurer (chair and consortium inbox copied), the same way the contact form works. Please send that email so IEHEC has a record. No sign-in is required.

Committee interest (optional)

Members are encouraged to join a committee. Choose any that apply.

Member Portal

Institution sign-in

Each member institution has its own username and password, shared privately with that organization by the consortium. The server checks them and records the institution on sign-in and on treasury requests. Treasury figures, dues status, documents, and the placement calendar are not on this page until that check succeeds. Need your institution's login? Email inlandempireconsortium@gmail.com.
