Our holistic training model ensures that students receive valuable clinical experience via externships at medical facilities throughout the Bay Area. Commitment lengths vary depending upon program. Our students prepare for direct patient interaction through extensive lab training and are evaluated several times before qualifying for externship placement. The quality of our training is shown in the large number of students employed at externship facilities. In effect, externships through Bay Area Medical Academy act as “in-house interviews” where employers can evaluate the skills of candidates in a real world setting.
