hurdles to successfully enter health sciences

interactive audience discussion, Dr. Chauvin will engage
participants in exploring and answering important
questions such as the following: What are common issues
related to student academic difficulty? What are the
typical sources of academic difficulties? How do we
enable students to take responsibility for preventing or
minimizing the likelihood of academic difficulty? How do
we prepare ourselves, individually and institutionally,
to prevent student educational difficulty and to
intervene effectively? When and at what level is
intervention most effective? What are effective
strategies for prevention, identification, and
intervention? What are the issues related to promotion
and retention, accountability and liability, reporting
and confidentiality, and future decision making related
to post-graduate and continuing education decisions?
