Building Healthcare Pathways: From Concept to Classroom

Session 5: 9:15am-10:15am (Saturday March 07, 2026)

 

Description

Get an inside look at how a fully realized Healthcare Pathways program was built from the ground up to meet today’s workforce demands. Discover how one educator turned a simple concept into a student-centered, industry-aligned pathway by crafting effective syllabi, leveraging tech tools like Canvas, and forging strong partnerships with local healthcare employers. This session walks through each step—needs assessment, learning outcomes, hands-on training design, and employer feedback—while sharing real challenges, successes, and proven strategies. Attendees will leave with a practical roadmap, actionable tools, and the inspiration to build or elevate their own Healthcare Pathways programs that prepare learners for real-world medical front office and non clinical supportive care roles
