Cool huh! 🙉
In your last year of the paramedicine degree, you'll have the opportunity to join the Rural Health Interdisciplinary Programme (RHIP). Where health students stay for 5 weeks in a rural community, as we did!
You complete your placement hours, study distance, and for one day a week, you're immersed in your community with RHIP engagement 🏄‍♀️🔅
Sounds good, aye?

Three students have given us a snippet of their time in Gisbourne, Whakatāne, and Greymouth. There is also an option for Hokianga. If you'd like to know more, email [email protected] or [email protected], or scroll back on your uni emails!

Last week, four of our students had a great opportunity to help out with the Westpac induction day for the new doctors joining the crew! They participated in a few simulations as patients, bystanders, and ambulance crew, aswell as having the opportunity to explore the base, play around with some equipment and meet some of the team 🙌 Big thank you to ARHT for having us!
