In my health science class, I plan to implement higher standards for professional communication to better prepare my students for the realities of the healthcare field. I will emphasize the importance of clear and accurate writing by incorporating assignments that mirror real-world documents, such as technical bulletins, internal memos, and patient care notes. Students will be expected to revise their work to meet industry-level clarity and accuracy. I also plan to include oral communication components, like role-playing patient interactions and presenting care plans, to build their confidence and clarity in verbal expression. Rubrics for both written and oral tasks will reflect professional expectations rather than just academic criteria. By modeling and reinforcing the standards of the healthcare profession, I aim to bridge the gap between classroom learning and workplace demands. Constructive feedback will focus not only on content, but also on tone, precision, and professionalism. I will create opportunities for peer review to develop critical thinking and collaboration skills. These strategies will help students understand that communication is a clinical skill just as important as technical knowledge. Ultimately, my goal is to ensure students leave my class equipped to communicate effectively in any professional healthcare setting.
