Program Overview
This program is designed for students currently enrolled in undergraduate health-related programs. It helps bridge the gap between academic study and the real-world hospital environment, providing an opportunity to explore how patient care and hospital services are delivered. Through this program, students will gain firsthand exposure to hospital environments by observing workflows across both clinical and non-clinical departments.
