As a student, you'll have the opportunity to work with the hundreds of clinical affiliations D'Youville has with hospitals, physician groups, and HMOs.
The clinical rotation experience entails long hours of work and study for students, but it provides a safe, supervised clinical environment in which to hone individual clinical skills and help determine the area of medicine to pursue after graduation. Professional contacts made during the clinical year are an invaluable source for potential employment opportunities and job references.
D'Youville is proud to be able to offer an extremely wide range of clinical rotation opportunities to our students. D'Youville has hundreds of clinical affiliations with hospitals, physician groups, and HMOs allowing us to provide our students with an extremely diverse set of clinical settings to explore.
