Clinical training  
You'll get learning lab/clinical instruction through the College's state-of-the-art clinical training facilities/simulators. You'll also do clinical rotations at area medical centers, hospitals and other health facilities. While faculty make every effort to notify you well in advance of your clinical schedules, things do sometimes change due to circumstances outside our control. Please plan some flexibility in your schedule to allow for unforeseen changes in your clinical rotation schedule. A student services representative can provide information about specific clinical sites for the campus you attend.
