It’s National Allied Health Professions Week!

It’s National Allied Health Professions Week, or as some call it, National Allied Health Week, where we celebrate all that is wonderful about the Allied Health Professions. There will be lectures and seminars, mental health resources and helpful tips on how to live a healthier life.

During the week, we’ll also be featuring stories about current students on our social media.

This week: Kinsey Gilbert

This week: Maggie Murray

Sometimes an internship can do more than teach you about a job, or help you learn how to network. Sometimes an internship can show you how others help those in need.

Maggie Murray learned exactly this when she interned this summer in Healthcare Operations at Versiti Blood Center of Ohio.

This week: Claire Glenn

Sometimes, you just know.

And for Claire Glenn, she just knew when she met Jill Hunter, director of Payer Administration Policy and Project Collaborations for University of Kentucky HealthCare.

This week: Hallie Smith

Hallie Smith seemingly got her internship the way folks used to: She saw the position posted (on Facebook), and she applied.

And, after three rounds of interviews, she got the gig. Now she has a healthcare marketing internship with Pinnacle Treatment Services.
