MAFP Field Placement
MAFP Field placement information
In the MAFP program, finding suitable environments to enrich learning with hands on experience is vital to the success of our graduates. With that in mind, we work closely with a number of organizations, government funded facilities and private practices, that assist our students in this important step, while building not only the vital experience, but networking strength as well. Recent field placements have offered students the opportunity to engage in the following activities:
