and goals do you have for this career? Begin and continue to establish your
academic journey and career goals
Individual courses within the
program will offer opportunities through assignments that develop particular
skills pertinent to specific career requirements and transfer of acquired
knowledge Other courses and specific assignments such as interview, practicum,
and capstone projects provide opportunities for students to be exposed to
relevant problems and creative activities in health care These opportunities
will require students to apply techniques acquired from the classroom to active
investigation with experienced mentors in the field
Research where to find career
openings in your chosen field, select a position you might be interested in,
and identify the qualifications and experience required Identify these
requirements as you progress through the coursework provided in your program
Take initiative to inquire and explore as you make connections with your
coursework and career goals Some items to consider further are membership in a
professional association, the use of Internet job boards for research into
future trends, licensure compliance throughout the country/world, and
occupational conditions such as location, shifts worked, required equipment, or
safety standards

section of the document:
1) Who? Who would make up my
network (eg, peers, instructors, professionals, colleagues) essential to
success in my chosen field in relation to this particular course?

course fit in my career goals? Where could I schedule an interview or
internship to bridge the theory in my course with the practice of a job in the
field?
5) Why? Why are peer-reviewed
articles important and what is the significance of them in a career in health
care?
6) How? How does this course
relate to the requirements of my career goals? How can I make a link between
the course and career experience that I need?

read through all the literature related to a specific health care policy
question To make well-informed decisions, they rely on short, tightly written
briefs that quickly and cogently relay the important policy facts, questions,

advance a persuasive argument in a concise, clearly organized fashion A policy
brief does not include a lengthy analysis or review of the literature
