Hi SHAC members,
At our next meeting we will be having a guest speaker talking about
UCLA Care Extenders Volunteer opportunity. Take a look at the
information below. This would be a great opportunity for pre-med
students or anyone who is interested in obtaining a job in a hospital
setting.
Interested in the medical field? Apply to join the UCLA Medical
Center Care Extenders Medical Internship Program today.
The Care Extender Program provides opportunities for volunteers to
experience health care from a clinical perspective through patient
contact and volunteer involvement. Care Extenders are trained to
assist Medical Center staff, who, in turn, are able to share their
personal experiences with their volunteers.
Time spent in the program proves invaluable because it provides each
Care Extender with "in-the-trenches" experience in a real hospital
setting. Care Extenders are respected as professional members of a
patient care team. As a result, they gain an insiders' understanding
of the operations of the hospital- an experience which helps them
determine their specific course for future studies.
Below are the steps to becoming a Care Extender:
-To qualify, you must be 18 years or older, currently attend college
or already have a degree.
-Attend a mandatory orientation/application session (by reservation
only) and submit the complete application at the end of that session
-If selected, attend an interview session.
-Upon acceptance into the program (requires one year commitment), you
must attend a mandatory training session. You will also need to get
CPR certified by the American Heart Association, complete a 2-step TB
test, and have proof of MMR vaccination and Varicella vaccination (or
proof of history of chicken pox).
