Why Shenandoah’s Model Matters

Shenandoah expects professional comportment early—especially in health tracks. International students must align CPT clinical experiences with DSO guidance.

Global And Career Opportunities

Proximity to Washington, D.C. supports policy, nonprofit and federal-contract internships when visa rules allow. Winchester’s hospital network anchors local placements year-round.

How To Make The Most Of Shenandoah

Students should:

• Schedule studio or lab office hours weekly
• Join one professional society aligned to licensure exams
• Document clinical or performance hours for résumés
• Use winter break for micro-internships or auditions

Shenandoah rewards students who treat every clinical or stage hour as portfolio material.
