The Clinical Health Care Specialization at NCSSS
Chronic physical and psychiatric conditions such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, renal failure, schizophrenia, and traumatic injury disrupt every aspect of daily living for the afflicted patients as well as their families. Patients’ and families’ psychological, social, spiritual, and financial resources can be severely challenged due to prolonged treatments, adverse reactions and complications, and long-term recovery and rehabilitation. In order to respond to these issues, NCSSS has established a Health Care specialization.
Students who are interested in this specialization will complete their advanced year placement in a hospital, medical clinic, home health agency, hospice or other setting where the mission is to care for patients with acute or chronic illnesses.
