Clinical immersions

Clinical immersions are structured learning experiences that involve direct observation and participation in a clinical setting under the supervision of experienced clinical staff and healthcare professionals. You will develop clinical skills, integrate discipline knowledge, gain firsthand experience in interacting with patients and participating in their care, and further develop your clinical reasoning, professional conduct and collaboration skills. During the immersion you will have multiple and diverse opportunities to receive feedback on the development of your knowledge and skills.
