At my graduate assistantship at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), the graduate students from Monmouth were introduced to a few of the key offices that work with Residential Education and Housing. Through this introduction, I was able to meet Kelly Hennessy, who is the current Associate Dean of Students in the Department of Health and Wellness at The College of New Jersey. As a future Student Affairs professional, one of my end goals would ultimately become a Dean of Students, so it was exciting to interview Hennessy and see how she got to where she is today. Originally when Hennessy first started her college years, she thought that she wanted to be a teacher. After working with the professionals in her Residence Life Office and Leadership Office at the University of Buffalo, where she received both her bachelors and master’s degrees, she realized that her passion was no longer teaching, but rather to become the professionals she was surrounded and inspired by every day. Hennessy has worked in Residence Life for majority of her career up to about two years ago when the Department of Health and Wellness first started on TCNJ’s campus.

I am very interested in pursing a dietetic intern position at South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC). I am confident that this internship will provide me a wide variety of practical hands-on training in all aspects of the dietetic field, which is necessary to successfully reach my career goals as a Registered Dietitian (RD).

The goal of the internship was to complete a 150 hours and provide a weekly summary of activities. In order to get the internship I had to do a phone screening with Mary Doe. She is the administrative assistant to Commander John Doe. Who is the Assistant Associate Director of Facility Support and also the internship supervisor for the SIU Health Care Management students at FHCC. I meet with CDR John Doe for a brief interview. We went over my goals and what I hope to gain by interning at FHCC. I felt interning at FHCC would be a natural transition because CDR Wallis has a background in Healthcare Administration.

From infants to elderly, men and females, everyone’s health matters. Everyday, Hawaii Pacific Health provides care for thousands of people within our island community.

This report is a compilation of our conversation with Karen Gordon - Sosby, associate director at the Texas State University Student Health Center made for an interview report. Ms. Karan has been working at Texas state health center for 23 years. She started her career with a public health degree in health education and a business degree in accounting and later moved to administration. Interestingly she has been working at a single place from the start of her health administration career; she made a remark on the disadvantage the younger generations most often face by being too quick in leaving an organization. She said that organizations would like to hire those who are interested in staying with them for long, also she shared her own situation of how there are less chances that someone could fill her position with the same kind of experience and knowledge of needs of the university.

My main interest in the Vidant Health Careers Internship is to gain hands on clinical experience with professionals. I would like to strengthen my prior knowledge of health careers that I have gained from the Health Science Academy and being a Volunteen at Vidant Medical Center by doing this internship. I hope to gain a better understanding for how my future career in pharmacy will be and this opportunity is the best way to do so.

When I first arrived at UC Davis as an undergraduate, I was unaware of what global health was. Although my interests aligned with health topics, such as disease prevention and improving health literacy, I did not explore any other graduate degrees besides an M.D. However, my career plans changed when I joined a public health advocacy group called RIVER (Recognizing Illnesses Very Early and Responding). RIVER prioritized educating underserved populations in Davis and the Greater Sacramento area about how essential preventive care is to one’s health. Through my participation in the organization as a board member, I learned more about preventive care and applied that knowledge by teaching underprivileged communities about how to make healthier lifestyle changes through exercise and nutrition. This organization’s

"Private Practice" is a TV show following the lives of a number of different doctors working at Oceanside Health and Wellness. Within this practice there is a Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Holistic Specialist, Pediatrician, and a number of other specialized doctors. In this essay I will be focusing on Violet, the Psychologist who puts her license and the whole practice at risk due to some unethical and unprofessional choices. This includes lack of confidentiality, unprofessional relationships with co-worker, personal issues that poorly effect her ability to treat, and writing a book telling the story of her life.

For my cooperative practice in AHS 393, I interned at Indiana State University’s Student Health Promotion (SHP). SHP operates under Student Affairs as a part of the Student Counseling Center to create and promote a healthy college community. They focus on encouraging students to identify the benefits of, need for, healthy lifestyle choices through the promotion of comprehensive mind/body wellness, timely marketing, ongoing direct interactions and by supporting a community that enables these choices. My supervisor was Janet Weatherly, the associate director of SHP. My main duty and favorite part of my co-op was running their Motivational Monday programs. Each Monday we tabled in HMSU to talk to the student walking by about a different health topics and resources. Overall, I really enjoyed my co-op. I loved interacting and making a difference right here in my local community. No two days were ever the same! My only wish was if we could have stayed and done more programs.

Since coming to college, I have grown a desire to help create policies and programs to alleviate the disparities that exist in the US and globally. The understanding I have gained from sociology and ethics classes I have taken at UT has broadened my interest in health care and my volunteer experiences have solidified this classroom knowledge. As a student in the Health Science Scholars Honors Program, I have the opportunity to complete a senior capstone thesis project. This interest has had a major role in directing my research and I believe will effect the direction that I take in my career.

During my time at Caribbean House Health Care Network I have benefited from the supervision of my supervisor because she an effective supervisor. The textbook The Human Services Internship: Getting the most from your experience give examples of effective supervisors that fits the experience that I have with my supervisor. According to Myers Kiser, P (2012) “Effective supervisors are knowledgeable, supportive and skillful in giving feedback. They must be willing to address difficult issues as they arises, teach their supervises important information and skills, and model high standards of professionalism and expertise,” (page 110). When she gives me tasks to do she checks up on me to see if I am doing it correctly. One of the times I encountered benefiting from my supervisor’s supervision was when I first began to inform patients about wellness resources and services that are offered at Caribbean House Community Health Care Network clinic. Some of the wellness programs that are offered are yoga, meditation, sound meditation and fitness. Some of the services that are offered are

The Healthy Lifestyle Coaching Program is designed to provide me with the academics knowledge and skills needed to have a range of employment opportunities in the health care industry. The core

For this health promotion assignment, the subject I have chosen to discuss is sexually transmitted infections (STI’s). STIs are spread from one person to another through intimate sexual contact but can also spread through non-sexual means such as via the blood or from mother to child during pregnancy (World health organisation (WHO), 2016). According to Mudhar (2013) groups that are particularly at a higher risk are young adults, men who have sex with men (MSM), black African and Caribbean communities. With more than one million STI’s acquired everyday worldwide, it is a major public health issue within society (WHO, 2016). Even though the overall health of the population in England has significantly improved over the past 50 years because of the highly valued NHS, health inequalities are still a dominant feature of health across all regions in England and many people still find it hard to accept that serious health inequalities still exist (Marmot, 2010).
