I hope that doing an externship at Vidant Duplin Hospital will help me to upgrade my Honors Biology course. I want to find ways to make more real-world connections to health and health care and ways to make class more engaging. I plan to find ways my students can give back to the community through community service projects. And I hope the externship enables me to link some of our students with internships, graduation projects, or volunteer opportunities. I hope that I come away from the professional development able to successfully use some of the technology presented in the sessions.
