About Us
The Early Careerist Committee was created to meet the needs of individuals who are transitioning to a new role within the healthcare industry. Whether that be an undergraduate student assuming a full-time position, a graduate student acclimating to a new job, a current professional transitioning to a different role in the industry, or an individual returning to the workforce, this committee aims to provide well-rounded support so that its members experience a smooth transition to the professional space.
This committee is designed to be a space for collaboration, where young professionals can share ideas with others within the same experience range or position titles. Therefore, the committee’s leaders are Early Careerists themselves, as they have the best understanding of this group’s current needs in the healthcare field.
If you identify yourself as an Early Careerist, or believe that you could benefit from involvement with this community, please reach out to Joy Mason (MASONJ15@ccf.org) and Paige Snyder (Psnyder061@gmail.com) for more information!
