Internships
Internships provide students with valuable real-world experience in healthcare settings. South University partners with local hospitals, clinics, and medical offices to offer internship opportunities to medical assisting students. Under the guidance of experienced professionals, students gain practical skills, observe medical procedures, and interact with patients, contributing to their professional growth.
Clinical Rotations
Clinical rotations allow students to gain exposure to different medical specialties and settings. During these rotations, students work alongside physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, actively participating in patient care. This hands-on experience enhances students’ clinical skills, decision-making abilities, and overall confidence in a healthcare environment.
Simulation Labs
Simulation labs provide a safe and controlled environment for students to practice their skills. South University’s state-of-the-art simulation labs are equipped with realistic patient simulators, allowing students to simulate various medical scenarios. Through these simulations, students learn to assess patients, handle emergencies, and work collaboratively as part of a healthcare team.
