Essays

What is the essay about? You will need to watch out for topic announcements from the teacher. Usually, the essay is centered around your personal positive or negative experiences with healthcare, or your opinions on professional and ethical behaviours in the hospital setting.
Note: For 23/24, the credit for the second year was received only by attendance, no essay needed to be written.
Credit
