Assignment
In order to promote new interest and awareness of long term care as a potential career avenue for you as a graduate-level Health Services Administrator, this course attempted to highlight (a) the various niche patient/service-recipient populations within LTC; (b) the different types of services settings and facility delivery platforms; (c) the various historical challenges that led to the emergence of LTC; and (d) the opportunities for advancement, improvement, and innovation within the setting.
Where did your interest in potentially working in LTC stand prior to the course?
Where does it stand now? Which, if any, of the aforementioned highlights served to shape that interest?
Given that you have had more than one opportunity to see how LTC services are conceptualized and delivered first-hand (via your site-visits and in-depth interviews and presentations), what barriers remain -- if any -- to you desiring to formally pursue a position in LTC?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
