"I really enjoy how the professors really want to build a connection with you. It’s been fun to all get to know each other and learn together. I also enjoy when we get to do assessments with each other. It is a great learning experience to do it with a classmate and on top of that, you always get a good laugh at some point!"

"My favorite aspects of the program so far are the hands-on learning and variety of opportunities we are offered. I enjoy working hands-on with other students and the high fidelity mannequins."

"I am looking forward to starting clinicals next semester to learn outside of a classroom and have really enjoyed our simulation labs because I feel that they are planned out to the best of their ability."

"Some of my favorite aspects so far are how hands-on the program is. From day one we have been getting to use our lectured skills hands-on. I also love how much the professors care about every one of their students and truly want everyone to be successful."

"The hands-on clinical experiences have been especially rewarding, giving me the opportunity to apply what I learn in the classroom to real patient care. I also appreciate how the program emphasizes leadership and professional development, which aligns with my goal of making a broader impact in healthcare."
Norma Spiker
"I have really enjoyed the hands-on practice. Throughout the first semester we were constantly practicing on the mannequins and each other. We even had one experience where a pediatric patient from the community was brought in."
