Care first: We do whatever it takes for our students to succeed.

Own it: We show up, take initiative, and show pride.

The Role:

As an Externship Placement Coordinators (EPC), your primary responsibility is to coordinate the placement of students with externship sites.

  • Act as the primary point of contact for students and externship sites, providing updates and addressing concerns.

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with externship sites by understanding their capacity, preferences, and onboarding processes.

  • Maintain accurate records in internal dashboards, tracking student progress and site availability.

This Job Is for You If You:

  • Have 2+ years of experience working in a higher education institution coordinating externships, or account management experience in the healthcare industry.

  • Have Front, and/or Google Suite experience

  • Have Medical Assistant experience

  • Are self motivated and able to learn quickly and independently

  • Have strong communication skills and high attention to detail

What You’ll Need:

  • A reliable computer that can handle multi-tasking among many online tools and video-conferencing software.

  • A quiet, professional workspace.
