What skills stand out on Health Sciences Program Coordinator resumes?
Daniel Kim Ph.D.: I believe having actual work experience as a health sciences program coordinator will probably be the most valuable skill that helps a student stand out. It doesn't necessarily have to be a full-time job, but having an internship position and being able to showcase what you were able to learn from that experience will go a long way.
What soft skills should all Health Sciences Program Coordinators possess?
Daniel Kim Ph.D.: Be nice and always be honest! Healthcare is a calling. You get to interact with diverse groups of people, and being nice and having a smile on your face can make someone else's day.
What hard/technical skills are most important for Health Sciences Program Coordinators?
Daniel Kim Ph.D.: Being able to use Excel proficiently and being able to speak effectively.
What skills will help Health Sciences Program Coordinators earn the most?
Daniel Kim Ph.D.: I do think asking for a higher salary is always a good idea. The worst thing that can happen after asking a question is getting a no as an answer.

Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Health Sciences Program Coordinators?
Theresa Earenfight Ph.D.: As a historian of the European Middle Ages, I'm struck by how students this past year have acquired something scarce: historical empathy. The past can seem so remote, so very different from our lived experiences today, and this can make history seem irrelevant. But this fall, I was teaching a section on the bubonic plague, which historians of medicine now know was a global pandemic, not just an epidemic in Europe. Usually, students are fascinated by the gruesome medical details, but not this group.
They did not need or want to look death in the eyes. They wanted to know how did people react? How did they get back to normal? When we ticked off the list of reactions--fear, distrust of science (such as it was in 1348), xenophobia, scapegoating, economic collapse, hoarding supplies, turn to religion, gallows humor about worms crawling about corpses--they got it. When we talked about the aftermath--eat, drink, be merry, and protest the inequality--they got it. That is historical empathy, and I'm sad that this was how it had to be learned, but it will give them broader compassion that can encompass people alive today.
Will there be an enduring impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Health Sciences Program Coordinators?
Dr. Frederick Gordon Ph.D.: Graduate students will need to refocus on the changing institutional role, being both remote and in-person, and impacting agency goals and performance.
How do you envision technology impacting Health Sciences Program Coordinators in the next 5 years?
Dr. Adelaide Kelly-Massoud: Well, every teacher and teacher candidate was thrust into distance learning. Misguided attempts to foster understanding often leaned our adult distant learning pedagogy. Teachers, and those who prepare teachers, found their job to research, define, design, and implement meaningful teaching and learning using a virtual platform. Words such as synchronous and asynchronous are now a part of our everyday vernacular. But there is a much more optimistic change on the horizon that we can thank coronavirus for.
Communication and collaboration have been forced to change. Parents and Teachers are more connected and have been put in a position to leverage technology to build networks of support and consistent dialog. I urge teachers to leverage this in their future as we work to reopening schools; we should learn from this experience to leverage technology to keep us connected.
