Health care providers at the 麻豆原创 Health Center flipped the script Jan. 31 and let the students ask all the questions as a\u00a0variety of professionals attended\u00a0 the \u201cAsk a Doc \u2013 Careers in Health Care\u201d event.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile we\u2019re not educators per say, we definitely fit that role in more ways than one at the Health Center,\u201d said Megan Pabian, coordinator of the center\u2019s community relations and public affairs. \u201cNot only are we educating students about their own health, but we recognize the responsibility we have as medical professionals on a college campus to provide career mentoring.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0The event is held at the beginning of each fall and spring semester and allows students to attain first-hand knowledge about medical professions. This year the panel included doctors, a physician assistant, an advanced registered nurse practitioner, a registered nurse, a dietitian, a physical therapist, a pharmacist, a dentist and a dental hygienist.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have such a variety of professions represented in these four walls,\u201d Pabian said. \u201cIt\u2019s great to show students how many career options are out there and how we all work in support of one another with the same common goal \u2013 make our students healthier.\u201d<\/p>\n
The event is supported by the Office of Pre-Professional Advising and includes experts who can address graduate-school options, and admission expectations for the various fields.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI found the event super helpful,\u201d said Long Nguyen, a health sciences pre-clinical major . \u201cI was able to get great advice from a dentist on how to further expose myself to dentistry, and many other things that can enrich and strengthen my dental-school application\u201d.<\/p>\n
