HLTH 210 – Foundations of Health Science Chapt. 07 – Health Education Settings (5 + 5 = 10 points) Directions: Health Educators practice in multiple settings. Similar to other professions, the training in our discipline usually starts future professionals together. And then, as we become more specialized, we figure out in what setting we would like to practice. Check D2L for the due date of both Part One and Two of this assignment.

b. And what do you think you should do in the next x-number of years to graduation to make sure you land a job in that setting? If I had the choice, I would choose the international one as there is cultures that use medicines we don’t know about. International would be good because you would step outside a comfort zone and meet diferent patients compared to other ones. With colleges and university there would more be the same people coming for checkups and wanting the usual expecting to see you. Also compared the other ones there are ways in which international can help as making your methods better by knowing multiple ways to treat it. But in a nontraditional there’s always a risk in which you could end up injuring a patient or make it even worse than it already is. Public health is even worse which how it’s for everyone and there could be some false ones that are just a waste of time to you. In the next 5 years I should start studying medicine which then I can get a basic understanding which make it easier to know what to give. Also, I would want to learn cultures to know what they do to treat patients and compare it to how we treat them and create a basic understanding of how it’s done. After that I would try and work in diferent areas which would give more knowledge and know tech and tools others use. Meet with new patients by traveling and see how culture efects people’s perspective on health. Then there would be to promote how this efects people and become a known as a great doctor.
