Education Opportunities at Huggins Hospital
Huggins Hospital offers a variety of educational opportunities for students in high school or healthcare affiliated post-secondary educational programs.
Clinical Rotation Students & Medical Students
Students will observe and participate in clinical departments to complete coursework requirements. To be eligible, students must be part of a healthcare affiliated educational program with an approved contract by the Department of Human Resources.
They will have supervised direct patient contact consistent with course curriculum and departmental guidelines. Clinical competencies and objectives must accompany the student from their affiliated program, and evaluations may be conducted upon completion.
The Department Director and Vice President determine whether they can accommodate a clinical student.
