Career Paths in the Health Sciences
The School of Allied Health and Life Sciences (SAHLS) was
proud to present our FREE Fall Learn at Lunch Series on November 2-6, 2009.
We offered 4 learn at lunch seminars to interested guidance counselors,
IT Directors, school nurses and any motivated teachers in K-12.
Each three-hour seminar was designed to give you new insights into careers
in health sciences to inform students and parents. Electronic
resources are
provided for use in your school's career day events. A
final hour of hands-on computer training provided tips and tricks in Microsoft
Word, PowerPoint and/or Excel.

At the conclusion of the seminar, attendees will be able to:
- Describe career paths in allied health leading to great job opportunities in Northwest Florida.
- Describe cutting-edge advancements happening now in the application of computers to medicine, clinical lab sciences, public health, and/or biomedicine.
- Identify electronic resources for K-12 students, parents, teachers and guidance counselors for use during advising and/or Career Day events.
