Hello Everyone,
My name is Clement Lee and I am the Director of Recruitment and Training for COPE Health Solutions’ Clinical Care Extender Volunteer Internship Program at St. Francis Medical Center. This program provides students who are enrolled in or graduated from an accredited college or university with the unique experience of direct patient care in a hospital environment. Our program is ideal for students interested in healthcare who desire a hands-on experience. The Clinical Care Extender Program allows participants to work with all levels of medical staff to better understand the dynamics of a hospital environment. Further, volunteers are able to help on many different departments in the hospital in order to get a feel for the different environments of each unit. While volunteering, students gain exposure to the realities of working in healthcare.
Our orientation/interview sessions occur every three months, and our next recruitment cycle will be from Now through October 31st. Please check our website for specific dates and times:

Here are the answers to some of our more frequently asked questions:
What exactly is a Clinical Care Extender?
Clinical Care Extenders are volunteer interns who participate in hands-on patient care within the hospital setting. As a Clinical Care Extender, you will become a valuable member of the patient care team as you help to bathe, feed, change, comfort and provide company for hospital patients. You will help with a myriad of tasks in a variety of hospital nursing units. As a Clinical Care Extender, you will gain unparalleled exposure to the medical field and what it really takes to be a health care professional.
What time commitments does the program require?
The Clinical Care Extender Internship requires a 240-hour program commitment. You will attend a mandatory 3-day training course (24 hours) before serving in the hospital. Clinical Care Extenders serve one 4-hour shift each week for 60 weeks. In just over one year, a Clinical Care Extender completes 240 hours of volunteer service!
What shift times are available?
Shifts are scheduled on a first-come-first-serve basis (we will explain more about this procedure at the orientation). In most departments, shifts are available 7 days a week from 7am to 11am, 11am to 3pm, 3pm to 7pm, 7pm to 11pm.
What departments do Clinical Care Extenders serve in?
Clinical Care Extenders will start on the Medical/ Surgical Basing Nursing floor and will move on to other floors such as Labor and Delivery and Emergency Department.
How long is a rotation?
Each rotation is 3 months long, which means that a Clinical Care Extender completes 4 rotations each year.
How can I apply to the Clinical Care Extender Program?

*We will explain everything in greater detail at your orientation/interview session. I look forward to meeting with you soon!
