Frequently Asked Questions

What is Specialty Practice?

Specialty practice provides students with discipline relevant learning experiences at a level not available in their previous diploma education. It builds on the knowledge, skills and attitudes that students have acquired and affords them the opportunity to attain added competence and further knowledge in a specialty practice area. This may include learning directed toward advance certification or clinical and theoretical opportunities that stretch the boundaries of a particular discipline. For a list of possible specialty practice areas contact the Post Diploma Advisor.

Do I need to get the same vaccinations and CPR certifcations as the 4-year entry level students?

Yes, if you choose to take a specialty practice course or an advanced level clinical course, you will be required to provide proof of immunization and BCLS certification. You would also be required to sign the student agreements. 

Can I transfer any credits from a previous program?

To be compliant with 果酱视频's regulations associated with minimum credit hours, transfer credits from outside 果酱视频 University are not eligible to be included for this program.
