Robin Sherman, Ph.D., assistant director and associate professor in the Division of Math, Science, and Technology, is the coordinator of CEP. She appreciates the value of discovering new career opportunities from lessons learned during her own student career.
Our perspectives change the more we see and hear. I used to faint at the sight of blood, and now I’m a biologist.
CEP gives students exposure to real workings in the medical field. It’s not training for one specific occupational choice. Students in any major can see how health professionals from different specialties interact with each other. Even pre-med students want to look at various career options in case being a doctor isn’t right for them.
The Clinic Exploration Program (CEP) offers students the opportunity to shadow medical professionals on the job in many of NSU’s clinics. Program participants gain a broad perspective that shows how various medical fields work together, offering a practical, up-close review of several medical career options.
Any undergraduate student can take part in CEP, no matter what major she or he takes. Rotations will last two hours per week for three weeks. Because this is a volunteer program, members’ commitments are flexible and voluntary. Program participants are given a special blue lab jacket to wear during clinic experiences, and are assigned a clinic for one or two rotations a semester.
To broaden student opportunities further, CEP has added a clinical collaboration with the college’s athletic training major – the first CEP clinic outside NSU’s Health Professions Division.
