The Healthcare Administration club strives to help students form relationships with community and hospital leaders, learn vital career skills and help students reach their career goals.
One of the best ways to network and keep updated on local and national health trends is to participate in a professional health organization or association. We recommend several state and national organizations to our students and alumni. These organizations offer annual conferences where CHES/MCHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) credits can be earned. In addition, the national organizations publish peer reviewed journals. Our department has listed a number of recommended organizations. Take time to explore their web pages and get involved.
There are currently no volunteer opportunities. Check back regularly or ask a faculty member for more information!
Dr. James Bemel is currently working on research projects regarding electronic cigarette use, financial health, concealed carry within the field of public health, and the impact of the Olympic Games upon physical activity levels. While he may not currently have opportunities for students to assist with these studies in particular, he is always willing to discuss students’ research interests and possibly sponsoring/assisting with those projects. Please feel free to contact him via email.
