Student Placement
TAIBU Community Health Centre is committed to learning from the community and, in turn, providing opportunities for the community to learn from us. We delight in contributing to the growth and positive development of secondary and post-secondary students through co-operative education programmes or instructional practicum placements. Malvern is a very diverse community and we are looking for students from a wide-range of ethnic and racial backgrounds to take advantage of the many opportunities available for those interested in acquiring hands-on knowledge about health promotion, nutrition, clinical services, social work and community development.
Moreover, we accept students from an assortment of colleges and university programs that have a specified interest in the health of marginalized and racialized populations.
