The purpose of the My Plan Self-Assessment is a counseling tool for prospective healthcare majors to
identify and better understand your career pathway including your strengths and areas of focus. Working in
healthcare requires a combination of academic and professional knowledge and skills and a commitment to
public service. As you plan, find ways to make your strengths shine and to improve your weaker areas. Please
