Clinical Experiences, On the Job Training (OJT), Job Shadowing

Clinical experiences are required of health occupations students in the Certified Nursing Assistant program and the Practical Nursing program. They are also available to second year dental careers students and to EMT students. Clinical experiences are part of the curriculum in these programs that enable students to obtain hands-on experience with patients and procedures under their instructors' supervision in medical/dental/EMS facilities.

On the Job training is a paid experience where a student works for an employer during the school year under the supervision of both that employer and New Horizons.  This experience is reserved for second semester seniors in the last year of a two-year completer program.

Job shadowing allows students to follow workers on the job for a set period of time.  Students observe the application of the academic and occupational skills they are learning.
