Overview
Career exploration can be a learning process. One of the best ways to gain information is through first-hand experience and observation. This assignment will provide the opportunity to interview and visit with a working health professional in your career of interest. The reality of the work day is always different than what you can read about in a book. Discover, through first-hand knowledge, if a career or type of specialty area in healthcare is a good fit for you.
