Students are encouraged to participate in their externship <br />training on a full-time basis (20 - 40 hours per week). <br />Students in the Medical Assistant programs (CAMA, CMA, and AMA) must complete the required number of <br />externship hours (160) at least four (4) months from the date they begin their externship. Pharmacy Technician <br />students must complete their externship requirements (120 hours) at least six (6) months from the date they <br />begin their externship.

This is because some of the tasks might be divided throughout the day; therefore, a student <br />may need to rotate hours or shifts in order to adequately complete their training. <br />Externship hours will be determined between the site and the student. Students are required to adhere to the <br />set schedule of the facility. If the student requests a change of scheduled hours or days, he/she must comply <br />with the procedures set forth by the externship site. <br />It is the student's responsibility to complete the timesheets at the externship facility on a weekly basis and obtain <br />the signature of a staff member of the facility. While at the externship facility, students are required to submit <br />time sheets as defined in the externship policy. <br />Externship Completion <br />All required paperwork must be returned to HealthStaff Training Institute prior to graduation from the program. <br />Completion is determined by the following: <br />✓ All hours of participation are documented and verified <br />✓ Externship completion summary form from supervisor of facility <br />✓ Original documentation <br />14 <br />
