Student Learning & Professional Development Opportunities

Gain Real-World Experience. Build Skills. Make a Difference.

Marin Community Clinics welcomes students seeking meaningful, hands-on experience in a community healthcare setting. Through internships, externships, clinical placements, practicums, and preceptorships, students gain valuable practical skills, learn from experienced professionals, and contribute to our mission of providing excellent, compassionate care for all.
We partner with educational institutions and training programs to offer learning opportunities across clinical care, administration, public health, quality improvement, and other healthcare-related fields. Each placement is designed to complement academic requirements while preparing students for future careers in healthcare.
