University of Florida North Florida AHEC Program Diversifying the Health Professional Work Force Studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine and in the journal Inquiry have found the physicians most likely to care for the medically underserved are women and minorities. And yet, minority students are underrepresented in many health professions programs. AHEC is doing its part to make sure every young person has a fair shot at a health career by providing minority, rural and other disadvantaged students with health-related experiences, academic enrichment programs, summer camps and other activities designed to expose them to health career opportunities , build their self-esteem and prepare them for college. NORTHEAST FLORIDA AHEC : MEDICAL EXPLORERS POST AHEC has partnered with the Boy Scouts of America to establish a Medical Explorers Post for minority and disadvantaged students in the Jacksonville area. For two years, AHEC has coordinated recruitment to the post of high school students with an interest in health careers. As post advisor, AHEC also provides adult volunteer leaders, program resources, activities coordination and meeting facilities. The program is designed to counteract the effects of poverty, stress and peer pressure by encouraging students from inner-city and underserved communities to identify career goals to which they can aspire and by offering them activities to help them succeed. In time, the program is expected to have a positive impact on the number of underrepresented minority students in college-level health professions programs.

Occupational health nurses play major role By Jesumoney Samuel OCCUPATIONAL health nursing has been in Malaysia for over 50 years. In fact, it can be traced way back to the British Occupation in Malaysia. The majority of occupational health nurses (OHN) are found working in various settings ranging from medium to large industries. They can be found in settings such as manufacturing, petroleum, construction and mining industries, university-based occupational health clinics, workers compensation insurance companies, corporate occupational health and safety departments, hospital employee health units and environmental/occupational health consulting groups. Occupational health nursing has yet to be recognised as a specialty practice. With limited training programmes available, and with no expectations from employers and government bodies, nurses have remained dormant in their profession and their contributions to the workplace setting have been restricted. However, in some industries, nurses do play a major role in the occupational health service and their contributions have depended very much on their own initiative and experience.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Health Sciences Campus Guidelines for Volunteers, Trainees and Observers Introduction: The research and educational programs at Health Sciences benefit from the presence of many individuals who are not faculty or staff or registered students at Columbia University , but who come to the academic health center to train, to learn, to teach. These are individuals who are not compensated by the University. The presence of these volunteers, trainees and observers promotes the mission of the institution. We have an obligation to ensure that their activities are conducted in a safe, professional and responsible manner. Volunteers can be students from other institutions, including high schools, who are learning research techniques or working on their own projects, such as Intel Science Talent scholars, in University laboratories. They may participate in laboratory activities as part of an educational/mentoring program sponsored by their school or other educational organization in conjunction with the University. Volunteers donate any services they may provide to the institution, and may not perform work that is regularly performed by employees. The United States Department of Labor has ruled that an employer-employee relationship does not exist when volunteers do not expect compensation for their services and are working toward humanitarian objectives. Trainees are persons who are learning new techniques from researchers or physicians at the University, and who may perform work as part of the training they are receiving.
