“We have found through market research and our own participation in helping individuals advance in the healthcare industry, that externships alone are no longer the best benefit to our students and employers,” said Jason Aubrey, CEO of MedCerts. “MedCerts Experiential Learning is pioneering online healthcare career training by creating more effective clinical training options that meet employer needs.”
To streamline hiring processes, some employers are hiring students as full-time employees and providing them the clinical experience they need to sit for their certification exam. MedCerts will attempt to find these opportunities as a first step to meet certification requirements and to get students into their careers faster. If employment is not available, Career Services will assist with locating a paid internship, externship, job shadow or volunteer opportunity.
To help support students looking for these opportunities, MedCerts provides search strategies, resume writing and interview preparation. MedCerts has built a dedicated employer pursuit team to expand state, regional, and national Experiential Learning partnerships for its students.
MedCerts programs utilize the 12 Elements of eLearning, which includes 3D virtual scenarios, training simulations and courses developed and taught by industry experts. With the addition of Experiential Learning, clinical students will have the opportunity to turn theory into practice through different avenues than previously offered, start their careers faster and better align with the healthcare market.
