An Eye-Opening Internship at UTHC for Five Nursing Students

A Life-Changing Professional Experience

As previously shared in our article on the internship experience in Kuujjuaq, this initiative allows nursing students from the south to:

• Develop greater clinical autonomy
• Strengthen their critical thinking skills
• Work in a multidisciplinary and culturally rich environment
• Discover the realities and strengths of northern healthcare services
  

The Noovo report illustrates how working in Nunavik provides hands-on experience that is both challenging and deeply rewarding. The students describe a welcoming community, strong team collaboration, and an opportunity to make a tangible difference in patients’ lives.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Nurses

At UTHC, we are proud to contribute to the training of the next generation of healthcare professionals. Internships like these not only enrich students’ education but also serve as a gateway for future careers in the North.

We hope this media coverage will encourage other nursing students, as well as healthcare professionals seeking meaningful and impactful work, to consider joining our teams in Nunavik.

Working at UTHC means:

• Practicing with a high level of professional responsibility
• Building close connections with patients and colleagues
• Discovering the richness of Inuit culture
• Experiencing the North in a supportive and dynamic environment
