The Houston Institute of Global Health offer students hands-on experience as part of their training programs. Your educational training combined with the knowledge gained through an externship or clinical can provide exposure to working with teams, the rigors of professional expectations and the realities of working with the details of the job. You may also interact with patients in a real clinical setting. During this time, you will learn how to apply your academic studies to professional decisions you may make during your daily routine in your new career.
Externships and clinicals offer you the opportunity to prepare and learn what protocols you need to follow, what job skills you should improve on, how to interact successfully with patients and how to communicate effectively with your co-workers and supervisors.
