Features:

  • 280+ Patient Contact Hours
  • 8 Credit Hours and 6 Upper Division Credits

“This partnership provides our students with a unique opportunity to gain meaningful real-world experience to supplement their academic courses while working alongside Florida Hospital employees. Students will learn from some of the best in the field on how to care for individuals on all levels,” - Dr. David Greenlaw, former President.
