As a medical student/resident you have already received a Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services orientation in St. John’s and this is consistent with orientation that is done in the Burin Hospital.  As a result, medical students and residents are not required to redo the orientation while training elsewhere in the rural Eastern Region.
