Unit 1 Activity 2

This is an essay style activity. The link below will take you to a page where you can type in an answer to the essay question, so when you are finished answering, click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of the test. Your instructor will grade your activity later.

Review the Career Opportunities listed in Unit 1 of this AMS online course or in Chapter 1 of your textbook. Select 3 of the opportunities that most appeal to you (a specialty such as cardiology; or an environment such as an insurance company). Describe why you would think you would like working there.

Example:
Opportunity: Educator

I have learned so much over the many years I've been involved in healthcare, both in the clinical and administrative arenas. I would really like an opportunity to share my on-the-job and educational experience with people who want to learn the necessary skills to enter the field. I am well-versed in the terminology, disease processes, services and procedures in Gastroenterology, and would feel very comfortable working in that environment again.
