A clinical (externship) course is included in this program to provide students with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to real-life situations in a healthcare setting. Students are required to complete the required 160 clinical hours and other related learning activities prior to graduation. Students are not paid for work performed at the clinical site.
