Neighborhood Healthcare is a private, non-profit community health organization that serves more than 100,000 patients every year through over 500,000 medical, dental, and behavioral health visits. Since 1969, we've been committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care to everyone — no matter their background or circumstance.

Our vision is simple: a community where everyone is healthy and happy. We live by our values — compassion, integrity, professionalism, collaboration, and going above and beyond. If you're looking for a meaningful externship experience where you can grow, make real connections, and contribute to something bigger, we’d love to have you on this journey. At Neighborhood, we are Better Together.

  • Administering injections (as applicable)
  • Assisting with procedures
  • Updating electronic health records (EHR)
  • Supporting patient care coordination with the clinical team

Please note: This externship is focused on clinical (back office) experience and does not include front office duties.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Currently enrolled in the Medical Assistant program at one of our partnership schools.
  • Available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM for the full externship
  • Professional, dependable, and eager to learn in a clinical setting
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) preferred

Benefits of the Externship:

  • Practice the skills you've learned in your MA program in a real-world setting
  • Gain valuable clinical experience alongside a supportive care team
  • Build connections with Neighborhood Healthcare staff and leadership
