ADVERTISEMENT Collaboration allows Ankerson to earn degree, job and stay in northern Michigan

Through a collaboration between two community colleges, McKenzie Ankerson was able to stay in northern Michigan and earn a degree for the job she wanted. Ankerson earned an associate degree in respiratory therapy from Muskegon Community College, which partnered with Northwestern Michigan College and Munson Medical Center to offer the program in Traverse City. Ankerson completed her general classes at NMC and the clinical courses at Munson. “Doing the clinicals gave me an idea of what I wanted to do. We did job shadowing and rotated among all the hospital departments to learn how a respiratory therapist works in each area,” she said. Ankerson finished her associate degree in December 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic when the term “ventilator’ became common vernacular. She was hired to work at Munson on the general hospital floors and this past January moved to the neonatal intensive care unit. It’s the same neonatal unit Ankerson and her twin brother spent time in when they were born 10 weeks early and stayed in the unit for six weeks before going home. “One of the nurses remembered our family,” she said. The graduate of Traverse City West High School said she excelled in math and science classes during

Michele Coffill high school and entered NMC knowing she wanted Grand Valley State University to do something in the medical field. It was a family connection that led Ankerson to respiratory therapy. “My grandpa used to need oxygen and I remember people coming to his house with new tanks and the care they showed him,” she said. As demonstrated at the height of the pandemic, there is a critical need for respiratory therapists. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 23 percent increase in the occupation from 2020-2030. As a busy health care professional working the third-shift, Grand Valley State University’s Allied Health Science Professional Degree completion program (HDC) was a great fit for Ankerson. The program provided the necessary flexibility for her to continue working in the hospital, and use most of her Respiratory Therapy courses towards her bachelor’s degree. This unique program allowed Ankerson to transfer up to 80 credits while completing 40 at GVSU to earn her degree. She expects to graduate in April. “I wanted to get a bachelor’s degree in case I want to change careers at some point,” she said. The hybrid class schedule allows for great flexibility, Ankerson said. “The faculty are great to work with,” she said.

Health Professional Degree (AHS-HPD)

The Health Professional Degree (AHS-HPD) completion program is designed to provide a path for health care professionals who have an associate degree and want to earn a bachelor’s degree. The AHS-HPD major is designed to complement health professionals’ careers for advancement or preparation for entry into graduate health programs.
