UCR Health Clinical & Administrative Program (CAP)
The UCR Health Clinical & Administrative Program is an internship for pre-health students looking for a combination of clinical and administrative experience. Ideal candidates are professional, reliable, punctual and have an interest in healthcare.
Our mission is to educate our interns to embrace healthcare through a holistic lens and prepare aspiring healthcare professionals to be well versed in both the clinical and administrative aspects of healthcare.
This is a non-paid internship, but includes professional development opportunities, clinical exposure, and hands-on administrative experience.
The application cycle for the 2025-2026 academic year is closed. Every spring quarter, we have an application cycle for those who wish to join the UCR Health clinic and Administrative Program for the following year’s cohort.
