Allied Health Externship Site Coordinator at Institute for Business and Tec – Citrus Heights, California

Do you have experience in the medical field? Do you like helping others? Since 1989, our campus has offered medical training programs that prepare students for exciting careers in the growing medical profession. As the final step in the education process, students spend their final module (externship) putting their skills to work in one of a variety of medical facilities. The Externship Coordinator maintains and visits existing relationships and fosters new relationships with medical offices, labs, and other medical facilities to enable students to complete their programs. Full training included for the right candidate.

Our College is held to high standards with regard to graduation rates and job placement rates. Student success is literally our success.
