Health Professions Toolkit: Building Core Competencies for the Health Professions

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

Building Core Competencies in the Health Professions will help students deepen their interests in the health professions and build their "toolkit" of core competencies needed for a successful application process. This course, although ideal for sophomores, is also open to juniors and seniors planning to enter a health profession. Students will work both collectively to review the varied requirements of the health professions and also individually to design particular plans for the necessary coursework and documentation, clinical and volunteer opportunities, research, co-curricular engagement, and standardized testing. Students will develop their own profiles for professional school application with resources and support from campus offices and national organizations. Students will reflect on the unique advantages of a liberal arts education for a fulfilling career in the health professions.
