Job Summary
The Lactation Consultant will provide expert nursing care to assess, plan, implement, evaluate and monitor the care of lactating couplets in multiple units within University of Michigan Health, primarily in Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital (VVWH) and C.W.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding OPT Sponsorship as a Clinical Care Coordinator
Target employers with established OPT hiring
Large hospital systems, integrated health networks, and managed care organizations hire coordinators regularly and have HR infrastructure to handle OPT documentation. Smaller private clinics often lack experience with work authorization paperwork, which slows the process.
Clarify your authorization type upfront
OPT is employer-authorized work, not visa sponsorship. Many hiring managers confuse the two. Telling recruiters you have existing work authorization valid for 12 months, with no employer petition required, removes the most common objection before it becomes a barrier.
Match your degree field to the role description
Your OPT authorization must align with your degree field. A public health or healthcare administration degree maps cleanly to clinical coordination roles. If your degree is in a different field, confirm the role falls within your authorized area before applying.
Apply early to build timeline buffer
Clinical Care Coordinator hiring often involves credentialing checks and multi-round interviews. Starting your job search three to four months before your OPT start date gives you time to clear those steps without risking a gap in authorized employment status.
Highlight care coordination coursework and clinical exposure
Employers screening OPT candidates want evidence you can contribute immediately. Relevant coursework in care management, population health, or electronic health records, combined with any clinical practicum experience, signals that your academic background directly supports the role.
Understand STEM OPT eligibility for this field
Healthcare informatics, health data analytics, and related programs under CIP codes classified as STEM may qualify you for a 24-month STEM OPT extension. Confirm your program's CIP code with your DSO before interviewing, as it strengthens your case with employers evaluating long-term hiring.
Clinical Care Coordinator OPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I work as a Clinical Care Coordinator on F-1 OPT?
Yes. Clinical Care Coordinator roles qualify for F-1 OPT as long as the position is directly related to your degree field, such as healthcare administration, public health, or nursing. Your employer does not need to file any petition on your behalf. You work using your EAD card, which USCIS issues before your OPT start date.
Do Clinical Care Coordinator employers typically sponsor OPT students?
Most large healthcare employers, including hospital systems and managed care organizations, are familiar with OPT work authorization and will hire candidates who already hold an EAD. The distinction worth making to recruiters is that OPT is not visa sponsorship and requires no employer filing. Migrate Mate lists Clinical Care Coordinator roles from employers open to OPT candidates so you can filter out positions that are not a fit.
Does a Clinical Care Coordinator role qualify for STEM OPT extension?
It depends on your degree, not the job title. If your program falls under a STEM-designated CIP code, such as health informatics, biomedical engineering, or certain public health specializations, you may qualify for a 24-month STEM OPT extension. Check your program's CIP code with your DSO. The care coordinator role itself does not automatically confer STEM eligibility.
What degree fields support an OPT application for this role?
Healthcare administration, public health, nursing, health informatics, and social work are the most commonly accepted degree fields for Clinical Care Coordinator positions. Your OPT authorization must be tied to a job that falls within your field of study. Roles that require clinical judgment may also accept degrees in allied health sciences or pre-medical programs depending on the employer.
How much time do I have to find a Clinical Care Coordinator job on OPT?
Standard OPT gives you 12 months of work authorization after graduation, with a 90-day unemployment limit during that period. You should begin applying well before your program end date to avoid using up unemployment days. If you hold a STEM-eligible degree and secure a qualifying job, you can apply for a 24-month extension before your initial OPT expires.
