Externships

Real Experience. Real Confidence. Your Future Starts Here.

At MedQuest College, we believe the best way to build confidence is by doing what you love in a real-world setting—and that’s exactly what our Externship Program is all about.

Every MedQuest student gets the chance to step out of the classroom and into a professional healthcare environment, working side by side with experienced doctors, nurses, technicians, and other industry pros. This is where everything you’ve learned comes to life. You won’t just study healthcare—you’ll live it.

Whether you’re assisting with patient care, supporting clinical procedures, or just soaking up the energy of a busy medical or dental practice, your externship is designed to prepare you for what’s next. It’s your chance to ask questions, sharpen your skills, and see firsthand what it takes to succeed in your field.

Our dedicated Externship Coordinators work hard to match you with the right site—one that meets our high standards and gives you a safe, supportive space to grow. We partner with respected clinics and practices throughout the area, and each one agrees to a formal Affiliation Agreement to ensure everyone—students, staff, and site supervisors—are on the same page.

This isn’t just a graduation requirement—it’s a launchpad for your future. Many of our students say their externship was one of the most exciting and empowering parts of their MedQuest journey.

So if you’re dreaming about a career where you make a real difference, your journey doesn’t start after graduation—it starts now.
