Life long learning

Inside the Hospital. Beside the Professionals.

Classroom walls won’t limit your learning here—you’ll be on-site at a regional hospital, rotating weekly through departments like emergency medicine, radiology, maternity, rehabilitation, and hospital administration. You'll observe, ask questions, and experience the realities of healthcare up close, gaining exposure that few high school students ever get.
