Jersey City Medical Center runs a student track that is separate from its adult volunteer program. Applicants go to a monthly information and orientation session before they are placed in a department. A criminal background screening and a medical clearance are part of the process, and a parent signs the student agreement. Students commit to at least fifty hours over their first six months.
