Information for the 2024-25 School Year

  • Hello and welcome to Externship! We are looking forward to working with you throughout the year!

     

    No Sponsor Yet

    If you have not found a sponsor for the fall and have not contacted Mrs. Deschner (9207) or Mr. Shoenberger (9216), please do so as soon as possible to update us on your status. When contacting one of the Externship teachers, please use your school email. Personal emails may be blocked by our system.

     

    Placement Info Form (i.e., the halfsheet)

    If you get your sponsor to sign the Placement Information Form over the summer, you can hold onto it until the first day of school or drop it off at the office (closed on Fridays) and they will place it in our mailbox. If you are externing at HCA or TMH, see HCA/TMH info below. 

     

    First Week of School

     

    The first day of school is Monday, 8/12/24. Externship will meet every day that first week during 5th and 6th in the auditorium. We will explain the policies and procedures of the program, and you will receive the Externship handbook. You will also receive several forms that must be signed and returned before you can begin reporting to your sponsor. The earliest start date is Monday, 8/19.

     

    TMH and HCA Students

     

    Please do NOT cold call either hospital directly. You must have a personal contact at the hospital. Neither hospital offers placement services for Externship. 

     

    If you need assistance with HCA, please contact Mrs. Deschner. If you obtain a sponsor over the summer, email Mrs. Deschner ASAP regarding the placement process. 

     

    If you need assistance with TMH, please contact Mr. Shoenberger.  If you find a sponsor over the summer, contact Mr. Shoenberger ASAP. There is a multi-step process to get started at TMH that includes a background check, drug screen, etc. You will need to begin this process ASAP in order to start your externship in August. 

    If you have already turned in your half sheet, please watch for an email from or containing a link to DocuSign. Be sure to check your clutter/junk folders. When you receive the DocuSign email, please email Mr. Shoenberger. 

    Complete the DocuSign materials ASAP. It may take a few to several days for TMH to receive the background check and/or drug screen. In the meantime, submit the remaining documents so that your file is in process.  

     

    Note bene: If you have not secured a position at TMH at this point and notified me (7/25), you will not be able to extern at TMH this school year.
