Overcoming Limited Access to Quality Clinical Experiences
Securing quality patient-centered clinical experience is a challenge for pre-health students without prior work experience, certifications, or intensive training, while trying to accommodate rigorous academic workloads.
Incompatible Expectations for the Typical Pre-Health Student
Entry-level clinical jobs involve high competition and costly training. Nursing homes demand extensive availability unsuitable for pre-health students during the school year.
The Pre-Health Aid Initiative
The Pre-Health-Aid was created to help pre-health students gain entry into direct care worker clinical experience roles at NO cost to the student. Our algorithm matches pre-health students to paid, patient-centered caregiver positions for seniors and individuals with disabilities. No prior work history is needed; employers provide free training and accommodate your availability. With just a minimum commitment of 4 hours per shift, once a week, our system enhances your access to compatible cases, and you begin accumulating hours gaining clinical experience as a Pre-Health Aid.
