What Is a Medical Assistant Externship?

A medical assistant externship is a short clinical experience that allows students to apply their training in a real healthcare environment.

During an externship, students may observe and assist medical professionals while gaining exposure to clinical procedures such as:

patient intake and vital signs
assisting with medical examinations
preparing exam rooms
documentation and patient records

At Clinical Skills Institute, externships are optional and are designed to help students gain practical experience after completing the online training program.
