Tag Alongs

Mentees can learn about working in the clinic or hospital setting by spending time for a few hours with their mentor. Hospital tours will be also arranged on a regular basis for those interested. The time and frequency of tag alongs will depend on the availability and interests of the mentor and the mentee. Mentees have to register and show the proof of the following to CFHP Office prior to the start of tag along:
