What we aim to do
The objective of the clinical placements is to provide the opportunity for nursing students to immerse themselves in an alternative culture and health care system and to have demonstrated clinical competence as part of their undergraduate program assessment. Students will have the opportunity to combine both traditional and western medicine and health practices linked with their nursing theory and practice.
