This Mayo Clinic website lists 45 medical professions for students to explore. By clicking on each profession, students can watch a video highlighting the responsibilities and importance of that job or look at a picture illustrating the job in action. Students can also read the job description, learn about the work environment and career outlook, and delve into higher education requirements. This medical career exploration improves students’ knowledge of career options and encourages students to set educational goals. This goal can be measured by the accompanying worksheet linked in WISELearn. Students will identify and explain three medical careers of interest. Then they will organize all 45 medical professions into categories based on education length and career pathway.

In this 90-minute lesson, students will be able to:
-Professionally negotiate your salary
-Describe key job benefits
-Compare multiple job offers based on a variety of criteria to determine the best fit
-How to react and next steps to follow if you do not get offered the job
