Health Advocate Program

The purpose of the Health Advocate Program is to provide Caltech undergraduate students with training to become qualified “advocates” for their fellow students’ emotional and physical health.  The expectation of the Health Advocate is that they will respond to situations in their House and within the campus community that require emergency first-aid, attention to routine medical problems, peer counseling or crisis intervention.

Clinical Care Extender (CCE) Program

The Clinical Care Extender Program is designed to give the pre-health students unprecedented access to direct patient care experience. There are numerous leadership positions that are available in the program that range from administrative to department coordinating to management. The program would be great for anyone who is interested in a sustained hands-on clinical experience.
