Health care stories from the field: 勛圖惇蹋 students hear real world accounts from alumni
The 勛圖惇蹋 Office of Alumni Advancement partnered with 勛圖惇蹋 resident advisors to host the second annual, AbNormal Cases: Perspectives Across the Fields of Healthcare. The event serves as an opportunity for 勛圖惇蹋 Alumni to present one of their most unique cases to current UNE students to give them a taste of some of the rare circumstances they may experience in their fields of study.
More than 50 undergraduate students attended this years event. Each alumni speaker presented a case, providing context to explain their role in health care and how it overlaps with other health professionals. Speakers each highlighted when and where they interact with other health professionals in the care of their patients. Students were given an opportunity to ask questions between each case, and several students remained after the presentation to meet the speakers and ask more specific questions about graduate programs and various other topics.
Health professionals from various fields were selected to showcase a variety of medical careers students can pursue. Featured presenters included Kate Carlson, PharmD 13; Michael Conte, D.O., assistant clinical professor; Chelsey Valentine Helmke, M.S.W. 15; and Danielle Wood 10, PA-C.
The student planning committee was comprised of nine resident advisors: Wren M. Burton 17, Shannon P. Leavey 17, Nathan M. Oakes 17, Aaron M. Thibeault 17, Christina M. McLaughlin 18, Thomas A. Morin 18, Emily G. Fellows 17, Louanntha M. Benoit 19 and Autumn R. Stupca 19.
