Description

ExploreHealthCareers.org is a free, student-centered resource that admissions offices and faculty can use to strengthen outreach, advising, and pipeline development for the health professions. This session shows how the site can be integrated into recruitment, pre-health advising, and curriculum to help students—from first-year undergraduates to post-baccalaureate career changers—understand health career options and the education required to pursue them.

The presentation highlights site features most relevant to colleges and universities, including career profiles that clarify roles across the health workforce and address misconceptions; tools that map education and training pathways (certificates through clinical doctorates) to specific careers; and resources that help students assess fit, prepare competitive applications, and connect with enrichment and pipeline opportunities.

A panel of CAS Executive Group members and Liaison staff will discuss how admissions professionals and faculty shaped recent redesigns to better support institutional goals. Panelists will share use cases such as embedding the site into courses, advising, and recruitment; supporting exploratory students; and leveraging its focus on diversity and inclusion to advance equity and access initiatives.
