Abstract
This study examines the employment outcomes of graduates from the Healthcare Studies program at Salem State University to evaluate the program's effectiveness in preparing students to enter the workforce. Data was collected through outreach to alumni and responses were recorded and analyzed. Employment positions were categorized into three groups: clinical, non-clinical, and non-healthcare roles. The results show that 43.4% of graduates are employed in non-clinical healthcare positions, 34.2% in clinical roles, and 22.4% in non-healthcare fields. These findings indicate that while a significant percentage of alumni enter clinical roles, a majority pursue non-clinical roles highlighting the versatility of the degree. Additionally, a notable number of alumni pursue careers outside of the healthcare sector proving program success in transferable skills.
