Student Externship Advising
A great deal goes into the making of a successful student externship. And it all begins with our “Student Wish List.” That’s where our students convey exactly what they want from preferred specialties and location to full-time or part-time work schedules.
Externships are arranged for all students before the end of the in-school portion of the programs. We monitor the progress of each student through their externship assignments which includes an on site visit from a school instructor. Our methods help students successfully make the transition from school to working graduate.
