Re: Finding a place to do externship, help!

When I went through a medical asssisting program my school found me and every one else in my class an extership sight. We could make requests but every one got a place to go. Except for one woman that burnt her bridges as a patient at every gernaral practice left. You can get turned down for an extership, the medical offices do have a right to not accept students.
But your school should be doing this for you!!
