La Clinica de La Raza • Oakland, CA

About The Position

La Clinica de La Raza is a non-profit, community-based health center established in 1971 to address health barriers and create better lives for the underserved. We have proudly grown into over 35 sites across Alameda, Contra Costa, and Solano County. This job shadowing learning experience is the perfect opportunity for individuals interested in pursuing a career in healthcare but unsure where to start. Participants will have the chance to observe our team in action, ask questions, and learn from experienced healthcare professionals. While job shadowing offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience and insight into the day-to-day operations of our organization, it is distinct from clinical rotations required as part of many academic programs and professional certifications. Our job shadowing is designed to provide a broader understanding of our organization's culture, processes, and values, whereas clinical rotations typically focus on specific skills development and training.
