Students are responsible for their own meals.
Each hospital has a cafeteria that will be accessible, and there are many food facilities in the immediate area of each hospital.

Applicants must present evidence of good health and be able to meet the physical requirements of the program including lifting and positioning of patients, and manipulating all ultrasound equipment.
