The Casa de Salud Health Apprentice Program is a unique opportunity in which those aspiring to healthcare professions, as well as those who feel a strong interest in learning about healthcare commit to working one year (or more) at the clinic. Most Health Apprentices are volunteers but we do accept work study-eligible students into the program. Casa de Salud Health Apprentices assist in many aspects of patient care and clinical operations at the clinic and are trained in various tasks including patient communication and scheduling, taking vitals, drawing blood, preparing blood and urine samples for lab work, assisting in procedures, performing EKGs, and attending to Harm Reduction (syringe exchange) clients. Health Apprentices play a major role in running the clinic, they help to open and close the clinic, serve as language interpreters for clinicians who require interpretation, and perform a variety of administrative and clerical duties in addition to direct patient care. Such opportunities for hands-on clinical work and patient interaction are extremely rare or otherwise unheard of for undergraduate students, and in most cases only become available to aspiring medical professionals at the time of residency following professional school.
