Additionally, I am working as a Regional Manager of Community Development for the American Cancer Society, where I assist in the implementation of American Cancer Society programs and activities within the community. Most recently, I became a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) through the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, Inc. I would encourage ANYONE with a degree in HP who is interested in health education to do the same, as it has already proved beneficial to my career path. Just a few months ago, I was asked to conduct a guest lecture on the topic of Health and Community Involvement as it related to a Civic Engagement course at Occidental College...that was very exciting!

Christine Yoon
Christine reports "I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in Nursing through the University of San Francisco. USF offers a two-and-a-half year Master's Entry program for students who hold a bachelor's degree in non-nursing fields. I never thought about nursing as an HP undergrad because I didn't think there were any paths that could lead me to this career, but nursing is great because it incorporates so many HP-related concepts and theories. Just a few days ago, my professor started talking about the Health Belief Model and Prochaska and DiClemente's Stages of Change Model, which I remember from HP 300 with Dr. Unger. I totally recommend this program for anyone interested in becoming a nurse; HP grads would be great nurses because of the content learned in our courses and how congruent it is to this field."
