Health sciences and medicine Career Explorations
Project description
Career Options and Opportunities (5pts):
The purpose of this assignment is to allow you to begin exploring your career options early in your career. This will also allow you to discuss the competencies covered in this course with a professional to see how they will be used in your future career. In order to help you envision the possibilities of public health vocations available to you and to enable you to discover the wealth of opportunities for public health professionals across this globe, we have devised the following assignment. First, find a great job and investigate it. You may start with asph.org or apha.org to look generally at public health careers. You can do job searches on federal, state and local health department web sites: and don’t forget about the Non-Governmental Organizations (ex. www.vdh.state.va.us then hit employment), www.cdc.gov, WHO, www.ipas.org, www.fhi.org, HRSA, EPA, RWJ, IHS, USAID, American Heart Association, etc. or any other site you are familiar with or curious about. <br />
<br />
Complete a brief interview with someone in the position or a similar one. This can be in-person or you can try to connect electronically. Email or phone exchanges are commonly used to accomplish this assignment. Tell them the reason you are contacting them – as part of your graduate program in public health. If you cannot find the person, consider interviewing the supervisor or a supervisee for the position you aspire to fill and ask them about this post from his/her perspective. <br />
<br />
Following your investigation, write 2-3 double-spaced pages, in 12 pt font size, with 1 inch margins describing the job position, describe the organization in which it resides, the scope and purpose of the job, the job’s requirements and duties, and its current challenges. You will be able to gain additional knowledge about the position, so also include how your values and talents are a good fit for the job duties and those elements of the job which will be the most challenging. We will also have an online exercise to discuss these positions with each other. This must be submitted through blackboard as a Microsoft word document
