sessions that would ultimately make them very knowledgeable about (1)
the shortages of health care professionals, (2) skills and aptitudes
required for various helath careers, (3) what health professionals do
in their various chosen careers by shadowing them intensely, (4) the
job availability for the next 10 years--according to DOL, (5) resources
that are available to them to use while guiding students in careers
exploration, (6) educational requirements for health professions. The
curriculum could be used by hospitals, Workforce Initiative Boards,
technical colleges, AHECs, and those trying to assist with the health
profession shortages nationwide. It was created to be used as a three-day
intensive, comprehensive program but could be adapted to a shorter length.
The instruction manual details every aspect of planning and implementing
TEACH Academy. A CD-ROM version accompanies the manual, enabling you
to use sample forms and materials by changing minimal information.
