Field Trip: Practice in Realistic Settings

Experience hands-on learning in healthcare lab environments

As part of the Everyday English for Health & Wellness experience, students will have the opportunity to participate in a field trip to the healthcare labs at our sister school, Stenberg College.

During this visit, students will take part in guided role-playing exercises designed to simulate real conversations in settings such as a clinic, hospital, or pharmacy. It's a unique chance to apply what they've learned in a hands-on, realistic environment.

The field trip is an integrated part of the course and takes place once every four weeks. Exact dates and times will be confirmed closer to each session.
