Externship & Clinical Rotation

Our graduating students have externship / clinical rotation privileges at more than 200 medical facilities and rotation privileges at 30 major hospitals in our service areas.

Externship / Clinical Rotation Training

Externship is an opportunity for a learning experience outside the facilities of the school. Students are placed by school Externship Supervisors at medical offices, clinics, hospitals, health care centers or other areas related to training. These facilities serve as medical affiliates to provide the student with invaluable patient contact. Here, under the supervision of the physician, clinical staff or business manager, the student learns the daily responsibilities in helping to administer patient care and related support services. Thus, the student is able to identify with career role expectations upon completion of formal training.

Eligibility is determined by the Director of Education and is based on the student’s readiness for externship placement as evidenced by general academic and practical ability as well as professional demeanor and attendance compliance.
