The Performing Arts Wellness Initiative offers HSHP students valuable clinical learning opportunities while providing performing arts students with comprehensive physical, mental, and hearing wellness support. Excitingly, a new addition this year is an acting class designed to train students to serve as standardized clinical patients, aiding health science students in their learning process.
