Certain CareerStep programs require Learners to get hands-on experience at a healthcare system’s site/location. CareerStep does not guarantee externships. A learner’s placement in and completion of an externship is solely the learner’s responsibility and may be subject to additional requirements, such as a background check and successful completion of a CareerStep course, as detailed further below and in the EEA. This is particularly important for learners seeking to complete their externship in Alabama, District of Columbia, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Please note that CareerStep will not sign agreements with sites in the above-referenced states or provide evidence of insurance to those sites.
An externship is an unpaid learning experience and is supervised by a qualified professional at a workplace. Externships typically last less than 200 hours.
An Externship Eligible Candidate is a CareerStep Learner who has already completed their program training, submitted all required documents for an externship, needs workplace experience to meet their program’s certification requirements, and has not otherwise rendered themselves ineligible as defined in CareerStep’s EEA. Externship-required documents vary by program and/or the externship partner.
Externship Process: When a Learner becomes eligible for an externship (see criteria above and in the EEA), CareerStep may strive to connect the Learner with an appropriate healthcare facility. The facility may require additional documentation and/or testing (e.g., background check, drug tests, immunizations etc.), which is the Learner’s responsibility. A Learner’s placement in and completion of an externship is solely the Learner’s responsibility.
The externship experience is performed under the supervision of a health care provider (preceptor). Routine techniques are observed and/or performed, under the guidance and direction of the preceptor. It is the externship participant’s responsibility to follow all externship objectives properly as directed by the site’s policies and procedures. If they are not followed, the participant may be removed from the site and will not be able to complete the required externship hours and the program, which would impact qualification to receive a completion certificate for the program.
