Are separate settings in one clinic counted separately for PTCAS?

So there's a hospital near my summer home that I'll be observing at again this summer, but I have avoided trying other settings besides inpatient because I thought PTCAS doesn't encourage getting hours in different areas under the same clinic. Is this true?

There are other places I am looking at for the summer that are ~30 min. away for things like burn care and such that I'm interested in, but I'd like some closer options as well, and hitting two birds with one stone seems smart.
 
I don't see any issue with doing different settings at the same hospital (unless for some reason your schools specifically says not to?). You will be able to list a separate entry for each setting per the PTCAS instructions here.

Will each setting be with a different PT? If it's the same PT that can be complicated because they will have to give you two different email addresses if you want to have two different experiences verified by them. If they are with different PTs shouldn't be aproblem at all.
