Immersion sessions are incorporated into our SNaHP programs because they are an essential part of the educational experience and part of what makes our programs different! Attendance at all immersion sessions for a program is required for successful completion. Immersion sessions are 2-4 days in length and are held at the Brandman University Irvine Campus.
During immersion sessions, students will have the opportunity to:
- Meet face-to-face to learn advanced information technology skills
- Engage in communication and teamwork exercises
- Practice clinical skills in a state-of-the-art Immersive Learning and Simulation Center using standardized patients, computer-managed manikins and three-dimensional virtual reality environments
- Work directly with their mentors and academic advisors
