Student Experiential Learning Opportunities

Students are invited to join the UM BWMC team as volunteers, interns, externs and apprentices. Participants can volunteer and work in various areas across the hospital to gain valuable experience in a clinical setting. Students must be at least 16 years old to volunteer with UM BWMC or 17 years old to apply for select paid positions.

Entry level roles for students can include, but are not limited to:

  • Patient Transporter
  • Emergency Department Admissions Coordinator
  • Environmental Services Tech
  • Nutritional Services

Once participants receive proper clinical certifications, they can seek new positions such as a Patient Care Assistant role being created specifically for student externs.

UM BWMC is proud to partner with schools across the region including, but not limited to:

  • Ann Arundel Community College
  • Community College of Baltimore County
  • University of Maryland
  • Towson University

Hands-On Training Through ACE

The UMMS Academy of Clinical Essentials (ACE) program pairs groups of four nursing students with an experienced UMMS nurse for hands-on clinical training. The cohorts are guided by their assigned nurse instructor on 12.5-hour shifts, caring for real patients on the unit. Many units at UM BWMC participate in the ACE Program including Pediatrics, Labor and Delivery, Acute Care and more.
