Train in a clinical setting

At Iredell Health System, individuals are given the opportunity to complete training hours in the clinical setting in order to satisfy graduation requirements for their program of study (i.e., internship, capstone, clinical hours). The student(s) will be with a preceptor* at all times and participate in patient care activities outlined by their curriculum. This education opportunity is for individual requests only. Group requests for students must be coordinated between the school Program Director and the Education Department at Iredell Health System.
