Programme Details

Free Field Training for Students

Care Summer gives students direct exposure to a working health center. Participants tour PHCC facilities and observe daily operations, including reception, triage, and specialist clinics, without paying any fees.

Introducing Students to Healthcare Careers

The programme exposes students to career paths in medicine and public health. It aims to build early awareness of healthcare professions through direct, practical experience rather than classroom theory alone.

Following the Patient Journey

Students trace a full patient visit from start to finish. The journey includes booking an appointment, passing through triage, completing registration and initial examination, meeting the family physician, and leaving the health center.

Along the way, students see reception and registration, the Hayyak service, triage, family medicine clinics, and specialty clinics such as mental health, nutrition, and dentistry. They also visit social work, laboratory, wellness, and pharmacy sections, with each section covered on a day suited to its content.

Special Training Sessions

Three internal PHCC departments run dedicated sessions during the programme. The Occupational Health and Safety Department covers recycling, workplace safety, and PHCC’s Anti-Violence Campaign. The Human Resources Department introduces available career paths within the corporation, and the Health Awareness and Promotion Department delivers age-appropriate talks on personal hygiene, nutrition, dental health, and mental wellbeing.
