Post-Graduation Career Outcomes for Healthcare Programs

Hi! We're checking in with graduates of the program to see where your career has gone since you left. Your answers feed directly into how we prepare future students and report to accreditors. About 5-6 minutes, and everything is confidential.

• Yes, in a related healthcare role (e.g., administration, education, sales)

How long after graduation did it take you to land your first job in the field?

How likely are you to recommend this program to someone considering a career in this field?

Which range best reflects your current annual salary in your primary healthcare-related job?

• Under $30,000
• $30,000-$45,000

• Currently enrolled
• Planning to start within a year
• Considering it, no timeline yet

Reconstruct the respondent's actual job-search journey after graduation: what roles they applied to, what specifically got them hired or rejected for their current position, and whether the outcome matches what they expected from training. If they are not currently working in the clinical field, probe specifically why — was it the licensing exam, pay, work environment, family circumstances, or something else — and what would have changed that outcome. If they took much longer than expected to find work, ask what the biggest obstacle was.
