Career Exploration

Interested in an Allied Health Career?

An allied health career may just be for you!  One of the most helpful things you can do to aid you in your decision of a health career is to job shadow a health professional in the field you are considering.  If one of our graduates working in the field listed on our website is not available for you to job shadow, we recommend calling a local facility that employs the profession you are considering and ask to speak to that professional on staff.  Then, ask if they will allow you to come in and job shadow to help you make your decision on which health profession is best for you.
