Clinical Externships offer Unique Learning Opportunities

Email icon Back to Search
A group of five externs with their clinical coordinators

Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS) is pleased to welcome 18 clinical externs onsite every day to support our nurses in their daily tasks. These externs are all in the final years of their Registered Nurse or Registered Practical Nurse programs in college or university, and work as unregulated healthcare professionals on various units throughout BCHS.

Externship gives these students excellent opportunities to observe and participate in clinical work with the benefit of direct mentorship from more experienced nurses. They are on their units as extra bodies to support care teams, beyond the required nurse-patient ratios. Externs do not administer medication or act as a primary caretaker.

The experience the externs get at BCHS is an excellent addition to the opportunities they have during clinical placements through school and will make them excellent candidates for recruitment after their graduation. Some have already been offered positions upon their graduation.
