Creating your own directory can help you not only identify those organizations that are most helpful to you in your career in health care but also start identifying those sites that can provide good and relevant research to what topic you will be choosing for your research paper (Project 2).
Part B Power Point presentation of local agency
For Part B of this Project 1, you will need to visit a local site from your local entries and collect specific information to create a Power Point presentation of the site. This part of the project allows you to make the time and effort to visit local agencies that you may have otherwise never visit. Try to visit a location that provides services on a topic of your interest. That would make the assignment more productive and applicable to your life and career.
