This session discusses Connected Career Rounds, which is a free, online career education program offered by the Cleveland Clinic Center for Youth and College Education (CYCE). Between September and March, this program brings in teams of Cleveland Clinic caregivers to teach classes of K-12 students about what they do and how they got to where they are. In discussing the program, Dr. Nelson will share information about CYCE and how the center uses Connected Career Rounds to reach learners across Ohio and beyond.
Mike Nelson is the medical director of the new Center for Youth and College Education at Cleveland Clinic and a member of the professional staff in the Education Institute, where he takes on numerous projects related to educational technology. In the past, Mike has taught learners across numerous settings and education levels, and has published research on educational technology and teacher education. He started his career as a high school language arts teacher and US Marine before moving into technology integration and teacher education upon the completion of his doctoral studies. Now, in the Center for Youth and College Education, he leads a team that develops educational programming for learners across numerous ages and experience levels. It is the center’s goal to provide educational experiences that prepare the next generation of caregivers to join the healthcare workforce by offering immersive, real-world learning experiences.
