Staying abreast of issues, trends, and research in healthcare

Staying abreast of issues, trends, and research in healthcare is important to the success of the healthcare professional and the community at large. For this activity, you will:
• Locate a current article related to healthcare and specific to the healthcare sector that you are most interested in. Ensure that the article comes from a credible source of information.
• After reading the article in detail, write 1-2 paragraphs that will serve as a summary of the information contained in the article and your analysis of that information. This should demonstrate an understanding of the material, independent analysis, and critical thinking skills.
• Spend some time locating a group on LinkedIn that is specific to your area of interest or the sector of healthcare that you are wanting to work in. Join that group.
• Share the article, along with your 1-2 paragraph analysis, on LinkedIn to the group you joined. You should have a LinkedIn profile already set up but if not, you will need to do this (Theme 1).
• Finally, share a direct link to the LinkedIn group within your post that includes your article and the summary.
