Available Placements
Pre-Med Students
We require students to act as support staff and gain experience in a modern medical environment.
Nurse
The nurse will support recovery from illness or operation by using care plans, carrying out care procedures and assessments and by focusing on the needs of the patient rather than the illness or condition.
Nurse Assistant
The nurse assistant will take care of the patient's everyday needs. CNAs answer patients' calls for help, take their vital signs, and monitor their behavior and physical condition for progress or deterioration.
Dental Students
The services of a dental student are needed to prepare equipment that will be used in dentistry procedures, to ready patients for these procedures, and to help the dentist during these procedures by passing instruments, holding the suction catheter in place, and generally anticipating the dentist's needs.
