This course will introduce students to a variety of professions and career choices available within the United States healthcare system. Students will explore health career options by developing an understanding of the professional tasks, skills, work environments, and educational and legal requirements needed to work in each of these professions. Through the Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (IPEC) framework students will also be introduced to the core competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice and gain a basic understanding of how they are incorporated throughout the health professions to provide a team-based approach to patient care.
