This program provides students with an opportunity to gain direct clinical experience in the health care field.

Moreover, they are provided with various opportunities, including networking with health care professionals, attending informational lectures, and gaining leadership skills. The program has been tremendously successful and has been replicated by other hospitals.

Messages From Saddleback Students about this internship
I am doing the Clinical Care Extender
Program at Hoag hospital. I know a lot of schools have reps who come and tell
their classes about it, but I never heard about it from Saddleback. It's a
15-month internship program where pre-nursing, pre-med, pre-pharmacy, etc.
students can rotate on the different hospital floors. It's only a minimum of 4
hours per week, and it's a great exposure to the healthcare field and hospital
setting. I just started it this month because originally I was planning on going
into dental hygiene, but I currently work for an oral surgeon, and having been
working here and learning about medical emergencies, drugs, and patient care,
I've decided to go into nursing. So for any students who haven't been in the
field or aren't completely decided, this is a fantastic program to apply to, and
it's not too time-consuming. You also get a letter of recommendation at the end
of completing your hours and meet people! Below is the link in case you might be
interested.

I just finished my first month as a Clinical Care Extender at Hoag Hospital and it is going really good. I'm on the Gynecology floor, and have been doing the minimum 4 hours a week (hopefully I can do more this summer). I have been fortunate to have a new and valuable experience ever shift I have worked. I have done everything from helping to feed an elderly woman with a mental illness to helping walk and talk with a patient recovering from surgery. The basic duties are things like making beds, discharging patients, cleaning working areas, etc.
