Reflection
To meet this standard, we took notes on the types of healthcare pathways and the levels of education, credential requirements, and employment trends. We then made a poster dedicated to the dream career we want to pursue and the entire pathway that we must take in order to reach that career. We also listed the methods of how to build a positive team relationship and how to be an effective leader and got together in groups and practiced these methods. Lastly, we learned about entrepreneurial opportunities in healthcare and what to do if we want to start our own business. This standard applies to real world application because we need to know our career pathways and what we need to do to reach our goals. There will be many times in our careers and in life in general when we will have to work in a team or even lead a team. Learning methods on how to cooperate in a team and how to be an effective leader are important skills that I can use throughout my entire life. Lastly, if I decide I want to start my own business, its important that I know what my options are. As for the future, I still do not know what pathway I want to have a career in. I want to continue to research the different pathways and educational requirements so that I can get a headstart in deciding what I want to do and go ahead to take steps toward that goal. Since most careers involve working in teams and stepping up to be a leader, I want to continue to practice the methods we learned that taught us how to do this in an effective manner. I also want to continue to look into the advantages and disadvantages for being an entrepreneur in case that is something that I may be interested in.
