Student Externship Program

The Student Externship Program provides learning opportunities for undergraduate, graduate, and vocational/technical school students. It is generally a one-time, school-sponsored 'unpaid' work or service experience to develop career-specific skills. "School-sponsored" specifically indicates that the student will receive school credit for completing the externship and/or advance or finish a course of study by completing the externship. A School/Affiliation Agreement between Children's Hospital and the school is required.

At a minimum, all students must comply with Act 33/34 requirements (Child Abuse History Clearance and Criminal Background Check) and meet tuberculin (TB) testing requirements before the externship begins.
