‘The program is run during mid-term breaks throughout the year, excluding the Christmas holidays.
Students undertake three consecutive days of volunteering, including orientation. During these three days, students are matched with volunteers as they rotate through various departments. This includes both clinical and non-clinical settings with an aim to provide a holistic look at healthcare and the various career opportunities for students to consider’
