Our program has opportunities for students to connect in On-Campus Intensive experiences (OCI) for specific instruction and assessment. In a virtual OCI, students connect through a secure online platform. In a Clinical Skills Workshop, students work with faculty to develop clinical reasoning and procedural skills through a range of simulations and other modalities.
