Can students from a non-biology background enter healthcare?
Some healthcare and management-support courses may accept other subject backgrounds, but clinical and many allied-health programmes require Biology. Check the specific course rules.
Are internships part of healthcare programmes?
Many professional healthcare programmes include clinical postings, internships or supervised practical training as prescribed by the regulator and institution.
