Students
KGH serves approximately 2400 learners every year who turn to us for education and experience in everything from nursing to biomedical engineering to midwifery to pastoral care. Some come for training as part of their degree or certification requirements, while others are established professionals looking to advance their skills.
While many of our students come to us from Queen’s University, St. Lawrence College and other nearby schools, we place students from across the country, from British Columbia to Prince Edward Island.
No matter where you come from, your education at KGH will expose you to many healthcare professionals and many experiences, which will enrich your understanding of what goes on in a hospital and prepare you for professional collaboration.
