Early Exposures Summer Student Program
The Early Exposures Summer Student Program provides students with a unique opportunity to participate in comprehensive health care in a remote/rural northern First Nation community.
About the program
Students are encouraged to become involved in the community as much as possible both clinically as well as culturally. The number of students accepted to this program each year is based on funding and whether or not a community is able to accommodate a student for the summer.
Students will attend an orientation prior to leaving for their respective communities. Accommodations are typically located at the Nursing Station or Health Centre itself and are arranged by the Northern Medical Unit. Travel is also arranged and paid by Ongomiizwin – Health Services.
Eligibility
The Early Exposures Summer Student Program is open to Med I, Med II and School of Medical Rehabilitation students enrolled at the University of Manitoba and provides them with the opportunity to spend ten days in a First Nation or Inuit community.
