MHA CLASS PRACTICES SERVANT LEADERSHIP
DR. CAROLINE HOHENSEE (CENTER FRONT) AND MHA 710 CLASS On October 9th, Dr. Caroline Hohensee and her MHA 710 class teamed up with Presbyterian Hospital to lead a community volunteer project at a Crisis Ministry. Crisis Ministry is a non-‐profit organiza,on in CharloIe commiIed to providing assistance and advocacy for people in financial crisis, helping them to move toward self-‐sufficiency. The class received, sorted, and hung donated items for the store. Upon arriving, the clothing racks were empty. When the class was finished, the racks were full and ready for the approximately 150 individuals who come daily to "shop" for free for necessary clothing and home items. Thank you, Dr. Hohensee and the Pfeiffer MHA servant leaders for volunteering at Crisis Assistance Ministry in an ongoing effort to help our community, one person at a ,me.

FROM THE DEAN’S DESK I am ohen asked about job opportuni,es for students. While most Pfeiffer health students are gainfully employed in health-‐related jobs, our academic programs are increasingly aIrac,ng workers who are entering the field for the first ,me. They are interested in either changing careers or taking advantage of the an,cipated job growth in the healthcare industry over the next 10 years. Regardless of mo,va,on, students can benefit from the health-‐related programs Pfeiffer offers. In the first instance, I would recommend that persons who are interested in changing careers consider our health cer,ficate program in Long-‐term Care or Prac,ce Management that are offered through the Center for Professional Advancement. Anyone who has an associate degree can obtain a cer,ficate in one year that would qualify them for placement in a variety of mid-‐level clinical sejngs. Credits accrued in the cer,ficate programs can be applied toward the full Bachelor’s degree. This strategy will also work for students who have a Bachelor’s degree in Business or other non-‐health related disciplines. For students who are employed, and would like to advance their current careers, I suggest using the internship or prac,cum experience. This would allow you to explore work environments capable of providing new and different job skills designed to increase your value to the market. For example, this spring, the Department of Health Administra,on will offer MHA795, Applied Research. This class can be subs,tuted for the MHA 790 Prac,cum in Health Administra,on. Dr. Sanggon Nam will teach the course during which students will par,cipate in a research project with a major medical group. This is a great opportunity for serious students to learn research design skills. The course will prepare students to adapt basic research findings and applied research theory to specific situa,ons. The knowledge gained in this course will be very aIrac,ve to major employers. Any student considering pursuing further graduate educa,on, for example, at the doctoral level, should certainly take advantage of this new course offering. I can’t stress enough the importance of establishing good rapport and consistent working rela,onships with your advisors so that they get to know you and your career goals. Develop posi,ve rela,onships with the faculty in your department, and seek opportuni,es to network with your classmates. They are an excellent source for job leads. I will con,nue to publish all known job opportuni,es in Clipboard Notes for internships, networking events, educa,onal programs at other universi,es and academic compe,,ons that can all lead to future employment opportuni,es. Par,cipate in professional student organiza,ons, and remember that Pfeiffer students can use the College Central Network Job Line at no cost. . Contact the job line at www.collegecentral.com/Pfeiffer. Finally, it is important to keep in mind that there are many jobs current available; although, not necessarily.....RTP. In this regard, don't be afraid to move! Take note of Valerie David’s story on page six. When you finish your educa,on, go where the job is. It is ohen not possible to 'make the job come to you'...although such cases can occur. Prepare yourself – Research all possible opportuni,es – Go where you are called to serve. Best wishes for your con,nued success,
Vernease H. Miller, M.H.A, JD Interim Dean

SPOTLIGHT ON HEALTH AND EXERCISE SCIENCE Exci,ng things are taking place in the Department of Health and Exercise Science. First, the Department’s name was changed at the last Faculty Assembly mee,ng from Exercise Science to Health and Exercise Science. The major is now part of the Division of Health-‐ Related Programs and Programs; including 'health' in the name will beIer reflect the emphasis on preven,on, health and wellness pro-‐ gramming that is already part of the major’s curriculum. Secondly, Dr. Blake Jus,ce, Assistant Professor, is in his second year at Pfeiffer. He recently had a book chapter published in Weight Management by Gaskill, P., Mohr, D.J., & Townsend. Dr. Jus,ce is very passionate about preparing students for careers in fitness and health promo,on.
VINSON SUTLIVE, III, Ph.D. AND BLAKE JUSTICE, Ph.D.
Dr. Vinson Sutlive is in his 12th year of service to Pfeiffer. He is a full Professor who is highly respected by his colleagues as an academic leader and expert in the scien,fic study of the structure and func,on of the human body. He has been granted sabba,cal leave for the spring 2013 semester to conduct a major research study on “Anasto-‐ mosis: Three Unique Partnerships that Helped Shape the Course of Modern Medicine”. The informa,on obtained from this research will be used to inform his teaching and and enhance the mentoring of students when he returns to the classroom. The Exercise Science curriculum is science-‐based and requires all students to take general and upper level laboratory science courses, including biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, as well as a exercise physiology, kinesiology/biomechanics, exercise tes,ng and prescrip,on. An important component of the major is that all students engage in some type of undergraduate research project. Students are responsible for the design, data collec,on, and analysis of the research project. In addi,on, all majors complete a field experience at an off-‐campus facility. Upon gradua,on student will work or do graduate study in the areas of: • Exercise Science • Health Promo,on • Nutri,on/Wellness • Community Health and Fitness • Physical Therapy • Science Educa,on • Sports Medicine • Cardiac Rehabilita,on • Nursing The Department is working on two projects that will offer Exercise Science students increased exposure and professional opportuni,es. A major revision of the Fitness Leadership concentra,on has been submiIed to the Curriculum Board for considera,on that will increase field experience and opportuni,es for students to gain professional cer,fica,on as cer,fied personal trainers. Jus,ce and Sutlive have also been working on a nutri,on and physical ac,vity program for United Methodist clergy. Look for more on both of these developments in the next Clipboard Notes.
