Healthcare System Overview

Reflect on this content and identify which area or areas of the healthcare system you feel you need to research and gain additional knowledge on and why it will help your success in the healthcare field.

Identified Healthcare Careers

Module 02 had students identified two healthcare careers that they were interested in pursuing a career in. Reflect on your thoughts and interests in both healthcare careers including the top traits and features of each profession you found desirable and undesirable.

Personal SWOT

Module 03 had students complete a personal SWOT along with additional online surveys to develop a better insight to personal characteristics and interests. Reflect on your overall impressions of your personal SWOT and online survey results that you found interesting, provided new insight about yourself, and/or will be useful as you progress through your academic program.

Careers That Match Personal Characteristics

Module 03 also had students assess if their identified healthcare careers of choice matched up with their personal characteristics they identified with the personal SWOT and online surveys completed. Reflect on these results with your identified healthcare careers and personal traits- are you confident that your personal characteristics and traits align with your identified healthcare career professions of interest?

Professional Written Development Skills

Module 04 had students work on identifying professional skills and conveying them in written modes of communication through the development of a professional resume and cover letter. Reflect how you have listed these identified skillsets onto your resume and cover letter-are you confident that they will get you noticed by an employer?

Professional Verbal Development Skills

Module 05 required students to conduct a mock interview to help them finesse their professional verbal communication aptitude and learn how to articulate their professional skills in a professional setting. Reflect how you presented your skillsets in an interview- were you able to demonstrate how these skills translate into on-the-job professional abilities?
