Off the Charts A nationwide mandate for electronic health records means the days of paper charts in the doctor’s office are numbered — and 55,000 new jobs are waiting across the U.S. MHCC is on the leading edge. That manila folder your doctor carries into the exam room, full of papers and charts containing your medical history, is on the way to being as long gone as the house call. The new age of health care requires much faster and easier sharing of information between providers, so medical records are rapidly becoming, like your financial records, part of a secure electronic database. In the long run, electronic health records (EHR) will help lower the costs and increase the quality of health care. In the short term, EHR means the health care industry must implement and perfect processes using new software tools — and they’re going to need help. An innovative new program at MHCC is on the forefront of training students for roles in providing that help, as part of a new industry and opportunity called health informatics. As part of a consortium of Oregon community colleges which is partnering with Oregon Health & Science University, funded in part by federal stimulus grants that mandate the training of workers nationwide in health informatics by 2014,

Blending Health Care And High Tech MHCC is now offering classes toward certification in two professions: Implementation Support Specialist and Technical/ Software Support. “Implementation Support Specialists provide on-site support before and during the transition to EHR systems at medical offices, clinics and hospitals,” says Donna Larson, dean of allied health at MHCC. “The Technical/Software Support role will continue after the transition with the EHR user, ensuring the technology functions properly and meets the needs of the user.” With 18 of the top 20 careers identified for future growth potential being in either technology or health care, it comes as no surprise that a hybrid of the two offers a big upside. “The person we’re training is a tech person wrapped up in a medical person — or vice versa. We’re

preparing health informaticians who have a foot in each world,” says Wayne Machuca, computer information systems instructor, and one of the MHCC faculty who helped develop the new classes. “Although it’s a lot to get done in just six months, which is the duration of this training, the students who earn this certificate will have job-ready skills and be ready to go to work. We plan to create a more in-depth Associate of Applied Science degree program in health informatics to follow-up this initial certification.” The new program is targeted, at least in the beginning, as an ideal opportunity for dislocated and laid off workers who are looking to re-invent their careers. “There’s an unbelievable market for this,” says Machuca. “A lot of well-paid jobs already exist and will continue to be created in this field.”

College + Community • Winter 2011

Good Advice New tools and techniques enable MHCC’s advisers to do even more to help students find their path and discover their future. For almost as long as there have been colleges, students have been turning to their advisers for help in navigating the required courses, making a plan to help them arrive at their graduation, trying to figure out what career they’re drawn to and sometimes just seeking a sympathetic ear when they are stuck, overwhelmed or disheartened. Good advisers have always managed to make that an individual, caring process, and now MHCC has put in place some new directions in college advising that offer students even more help and support. A new initiative called Appreciative Advising uses the “six Ds” to ensure that each student has everything they need to succeed. First, advisers disarm the student, making them comfortable with the advising experience. Then they discover what the student brings to MHCC, from academics to home life to goals and expectations. Next, they connect each student to his or her dreams, even if they go far beyond what that student believes he or she can accomplish. Design comes next, laying out a plan for the student, from which courses to take, to what careers are out there. The adviser helps put in place whatever the student may need to reach the goal, from child care to refreshing his or her learning skills. Then, 3

Specialized Help To Guide The Way when the plan is ready, advisers help the student to deliver, with the help of tasks and timelines. Finally, advisers make sure the student does not settle — it’s not uncommon for students to hit the wall and lose momentum, and the adviser is there to bolster them, remind them of their dream and help them stretch to master the skills they need.

“Every student has

something magic

to bring to their education. This holistic mode of advising is a significant value-added process.”

“Every student has something magic to bring to their education,” says David Minger, vice president of student success and enrollment management at MHCC. “This holistic mode of advising is a significant value-added process,

where we no longer wait for students to initiate contacts with their advisers over the course of their schooling. This is a very proactive approach with great benefits for students.” The College also has some new technology in place. An innovative advising software called AgileGrad, developed by MHCC faculty member Andrew Dryden, helps advisers, students and prospective students quickly find and organize the optimum course schedule to fit their goals. Faculty can also use the tool to share notes and advising decisions with other advisers. And, to increase the number of MHCC students who benefit from the advising process, group advising sessions for new students utilize Apple iPads for wireless information access and entry. Even with the latest tools and new technology, one thing remains the same: A little good advice when you need it can make all the difference.

Adventure 101 MHCC’s unique new degree in Wilderness Leadership and Experiential Education is both highly focused and way out there. This is something you haven’t seen in a college catalog before – the listing of the first quarter’s courses in one of MHCC’s newest Associate of Applied Science degree programs includes the following: Wilderness Survival, Algebra, River Kayaking, Backpacking and Camp Management, English Composition and Introduction to Water Sports. If that doesn’t convince you that you’re into something special, check the second quarter, which includes Rock Climbing, Avalanche Rescue Awareness, Wilderness First Responder and Computer Concepts. This is the new Wilderness Leadership and Experiential Education degree, and it will prepare graduates for careers in outdoor recreation, wilderness travel and education. Unofficially, it will also prepare you to be Indiana Jones or Lara Croft, but that’s off the record. “This is a very unique degree for a community college,” says Bryan Anaclerio, co-creator and program coordinator. “There are only two schools in the nation doing this. Our program is so field-intensive, and it’s designed and built around offering a wealth of leadership experience, preparing graduates to go straight into the industry or continue in school.” That industry includes several hundred companies in Oregon alone that serve the outdoor adventure travel and recreation market,

From Computers To Canoes

Learning How To Lead Wilderness Adventures

including guiding companies, tour outfitters, outdoor education schools and more. Graduates of this MHCC program can go right into the outdoor recreation workforce, follow entrepreneurial opportunities or continue on to four-year degrees in tourism and outdoor leadership. Anaclerio and his wife Kim, who is also an instructor in the program, are perfect examples of the people who will emerge with this degree: They can take you into the wilderness on just about any kind of human-powered transportation there is, from a whitewater raft to a pair of skis, teach you everything you need to know to survive and thrive, and save your life six ways if you get into trouble. “Graduates of the program will earn 11 different certifications,” Anaclerio says, “including First Aid/CPR, Wilderness First Responder, Leave No Trace Master Educator, Swift Water Rescue

Technician, Climbing Wall, Single Pitch, Challenge Course Facilitator, Avalanche Level I, WEA (Wilderness Education Association) Stewardship and WEA Certified Outdoor Leader. It’s pretty intensive.” Pretty intensive, indeed — for students and faculty. At one point in the program, students spend an immersion term in the field: nearly five weeks in the backcountry working on technical outdoor skills on land and water and fine-tuning their teaching and leadership abilities. By graduation, students will have logged nearly 100 days of wilderness leadership experience. So, for those who see their career path looking a lot like a trail into the backcountry, this is an ideal program. “Bring motivation and a true love of the outdoors,” Anaclerio says, “and we’ll teach you the rest.”

Flying High MHCC’s long-term and hugely successful collaboration with Boeing Portland means good jobs and bright futures. If you’re like most people, you prefer to believe that the Boeing jetliner you’re traveling in has just two moving parts, both made from unbreakable Superflonium. The truth, of course, is that large commercial aircraft are extraordinarily complex machines with tens of thousands of sophisticated parts. From rivets to engines, they are all engineered and crafted to exceptional levels of precision. Many of those parts are made in Boeing’s Portland facility, including flight control components, wing components, engine mounts, landing gear beams and much more. It’s demanding, rewarding work, offering some of the very best manufacturing jobs in the country. For some 15 years, Boeing Portland and Mt. Hood Community College have maintained a successful collaboration in skills training, employee education and career counseling for the benefit of both Boeing workers and MHCC students.

“Mt. Hood has three full-time staff on-site at Boeing,” says Kelli Walker, who manages MHCC’s Economic and Workforce Development programs. “They coordinate educational programs, provide career advising and teach computer skills. We’re also integral in the Tech Prep program, a summer internship beginning with high school juniors, which leads some students to MHCC and an eventual apprenticeship as a machinist at Boeing.” The Tech Prep program, a collaborative effort of Boeing and the International Association of Machinists (IAM) union, provides a fantastic opportunity for area high school kids. “Boeing worked with the machinists’ union to identify key areas of need,” explains Sharon Birge, who partners with Stacy Brewing to administer Portland’s IAM/Boeing Joint Programs. “Tech Prep is an opportunity that’s embraced both by the Boeing leadership and the union, whose members enjoy mentoring students. It’s a win-win situation that lines up well with our philosophy of empowering and partnering with our workers.”

“MHCC’s collaboration with Boeing is one of the most valuable ways the College serves the needs of the community.” Dan Jones, an MHCC graduate who is now a Boeing employee, took advantage of Tech Prep and credits it with giving him a head start on a good career. “I did three summers at Boeing as an intern,” Jones says, “then I went on to MHCC. It went really smoothly, and my instructors at Mt. Hood prepared me to get a good job here. Currently, I’m a machinist apprentice, taking what I learned at MHCC to the next level, on really complex machines and manufacturing processes.” Tech Prep is just one of the many collaborations between Boeing and MHCC, which range from funding scholarships through the MHCC Foundation, to supporting fund-raising events and offering a range of MHCC educational opportunities to Boeing employees. “MHCC’s collaboration with Boeing is one of the most valuable ways the College serves the needs of the community,” notes John J. “Ski” Sygielski, MHCC president. “For years, we have worked together to make sure Boeing has a pool of trained and talented workers.” Mike Starr, Boeing Portland’s director of operations, explains,

Dialing In On Good Careers “We try to align the learning institution with the business needs, so we’re able to focus on what makes the people at Boeing successful in their careers. Longevity is the message in this relationship — we expect to be here for decades to come, and the manufacturing careers we offer here are well-paid with good benefits and a solid future. We rely heavily on the knowledge and skills of our machinists as resources for the best way to do the job and teach the job. And we value the training collaboration with MHCC, because these are critical skills requiring a pool of highly accomplished, highly prepared workers.”

And those workers are always looking to improve their skills and their futures, which is where MHCC’s on-site people come in. “My job is career counseling,” says MHCC’s Skip Paynter. “My main charge is to work with IAM employees and help them navigate their careers at Boeing. We offer training in machining, assembly, inspection and more — a full gamut of resources are available. Boeing is a premier place for MHCC grads to work, and there are also engineering technology and engineering transfer students who seek opportunities here. This has been a terrific collaboration for a long time, and we plan to keep it going.”

Boeing’s Starr agrees: “These are good careers that people can spend a lifetime in, and the relationship with MHCC extends the range of talented people who can find their future making critical parts of the world’s most advanced commercial aircraft.” So the next time you’re taking off, accelerating down the runway with flaps extended and the plane beginning to rotate into the sky, you can depend on all those parts and pieces, and know that some of them were made right here in our community by MHCC graduates. 30
