Your Desired Healthcare Setting: Laboratory Services

Achieve: Share why you hope to achieve this role (Why did you select this role?) To continue to climb the corporate ladder.

Requirements: Discuss if there will be any additional requirements that you will need to complete prior to seeking this role and your timeline for completing these requirements. (Are there educational, licensure, or experience requirements that must be completed prior to achieving this role?) Yes, I will need to have a bachelor’s degree which I am currently in the process of getting.

Professional Style: Share how your selected management type, philosophy or theory from the Week 1 information can be applied to your desired future role and healthcare setting and share a leadership style, theory, or model that you plan to embrace from the Week 5 information to your desired future role and healthcare setting.
