Become an Externship Site with Mission Career College

An externship is a structured, supervised placement where students apply their classroom learning in a real-world healthcare environment. As an externship site, you provide the opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience, while your facility gains motivated learners who can assist your team. Externships are typically unpaid, time-limited and designed to benefit both the host site and the student.

No cost to your facility: We handle matching, scheduling, oversight and insurance.
Access to job-ready talent: Our students complete rigorous training and are ready to contribute in clinics, labs or urgent care clinics.
Build your hiring pipeline: Host an extern and evaluate your next full-time team member before hiring.
Support your community: By mentoring students locally, you help strengthen the healthcare workforce in your region.
Hassle-free placement: Our team handles the logistics so you can focus on patient care.

01) Submit the interest form above and we’ll review your site.
02) We match you with a qualified student whose skills align with your needs.
03) You interview the student to ensure the fit.
04) The externship begins — we provide oversight and support throughout the placement.
05) At the end of the term you provide feedback, and if desired, hire the student.

We are looking for clinics, diagnostic labs, urgent care centers and similar healthcare providers in the Inland Empire (e.g., Riverside, San Bernardino counties) and the High Desert region (e.g., Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley) that can provide hands-on experience in areas such as patient intake, phlebotomy, clinical assisting, lab processing or outpatient care. Whether you host one student or multiple, we’re ready to partner with you and tailor the placement to your needs.
