William Beaumont Hospital

William Beaumont Hospital of Royal Oak offers a Job-Shadowing Program for students enrolled in the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) at OPHS. The program consists of a four-week training course that teaches students CPR, safety, infectious control and general job skills. Students are then placed in a variety of departments throughout the hospital depending on their interests.  In partnership with St. John Health Providence Hospital, health care professionals participate in Career Pathway informal lectures as a part of the students’ classroom experience.
