Training Patterns at the College of Applied Health Sciences Technology

Field Training:

Field training is considered one of the teaching and learning strategies that provides students with a set of diverse field skills and experiences within an institutional framework. Additionally, it contributes to modifying their personal traits and behaviors, which significantly aid in the student’s professional development.

This development occurs by raising their level of competence within the educational program they are enrolled in, through linking theoretical knowledge with practical application. It also offers students the opportunity through selecting multiple venues consistent with each specialization and supervised by a specialized group of faculty members/assistants to hone their capabilities and desires.

This increases their eligibility for emerging and newly created jobs in the labor market at various levels: local, regional, and global.

Field training is one of the basic requirements for graduation. Students must complete the field training for a period, in accordance with the regulations of the College of Applied Medical Sciences Technology.
