SUPPORTING LOCAL
All students are welcome to apply but preference will be given to those who have a link to the area served by OHC and to the catchment areas of the South Shore Regional and Fishermen’s Memorial Hospitals.
KEY INITIATIVE
Community support plays an important role in medical staff recruitment during these very trying and competitive times.
The OHC Student Award is a part of our recruitment program, encouraging graduating medical and nursing staff to locate to our area and the catchment zone of the South Shore Regional and Fishermen’s Memorial Hospitals.
