Testimonials
I felt very supported at the practice and would highly recommend the experience to other students! All staff members were very inclusive and welcoming.
My preceptor and the other clinic doctors and nurses have all been great at teaching me. They are more than happy for me to get hands on experiences, both with patient interaction and procedural skills. It was a great opportunity to put into practice the knowledge from the first two years and to reinforce old and new concepts.
Preceptor was an excellent teacher. Able to spend time with visiting allied health professionals and do/assist with small procedures.
