Description

In this course, students will explore the US healthcare system, become familiar with different health science professions, and learn how to navigate and extract health career information from online resources. Additionally, students will articulate and assess the lasting and transferable skills and knowledge acquired through courses in both their major and general education to their chosen profession. In collaboration with a faculty mentor, students will refine their roadmap and produce additional portfolio documentation to support their post-graduate plan by identifying mentoring opportunities, seeking internships, contacting employers and graduate schools of interest, and finding appropriate grant and/or fellowship opportunities. May be repeated. Prerequisite: Completion of any BCA 249.
