Student Opportunities

Student Preceptorship, Practicum, and Shadowing

The YHC maintains strong affiliations with other learning organizations, universities and schools. We offer placements for students at all levels, starting in high school through to post-graduate levels. We welcome students from a wide variety of health care professions. The hospital recognizes and appreciates the importance of students, and includes them as an integral part of the organization.
