Covid ICU
Earlier this month, we were joined (virtually) by Dr. Michael Buscher ’03 for a special HYGT event. Dr. Buscher obtained his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine, and currently splits his clinical time between the Emergency Department and Medical ICU at Bridgeport Hospital/Yale New Haven Health. He is also a faculty member for the Emergency Medicine residency program at Yale and the Pulmonary/Critical Care fellowship at Bridgeport Hospital. He shared his reflections with a group of students, alumni, and staff on topics ranging from his unique path to medicine, to the preparation provided by a liberal arts education, the importance of mentorship, his advice for students, and his current experiences as a frontline healthcare provider. Thank you, Dr. Buscher!

ADVICE FOR THE CLASS OF 2020:
Education Industry: April - June is traditionally peak hiring time for schools. Charter School networks are still hiring, as you will see through Handshake. AmeriCorps positions are also currently going forward with hiring for the 2020-2021 service year. Education Technology is an industry seeing growth during the pandemic, including positions in software, sales, marketing and curriculum development.
Careers with Social Impact: Professional industry or subject matter associations/organizations are an excellent resource to search for opportunities and to network with like-minded professionals. These associations or organizations will list opportunities, including entry-level positions that are accessible to non-members. Look for those organizations that may offer a student or recent graduate membership fee that is affordable for your budget. Start your research by using career one-stop, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor.
